 ====== SDF Dial-up via pppconfig and pon|poff|plog on Ubuntu ======
@@ Line 11: / Line 11: @@
 Verify that the modem is installed correctly and that **pppconfig**, **pon**, **poff** and **plog** are present on your system (all should be part of the base Ubuntu install). The **which** command is useful for this: ie. ''which pppconfig'' should return ''/usr/sbin/pppconfig''. Also have your SDF Dial-up account information at hand: username, password, local access number. See [[http://sdf.org/?faq?DIALUP|FAQ>DIALUP]] for details.
-A word about modems: most internal modems are "WinModems" (MS Windows only) and will not likely work with Linux; the best option is an external "hardware modem" that connects via a serial or USB port. Such modems contain their own controller chip (hence the term "hardware modem") and do not rely on special drivers to function. That said, if all you have is a WinModem it is possible that someone has created a Linux driver for it; check at [[http://linmodems.org/| linmodems.org]] to see if yours is supported.
