Re: Red Hat 5.0 Release date



     There are still plenty of ISPs who use the old conventional
authorization, so the script should give the option of creating
/etc/chatscript similar to: 

ABORT        BUSY
ABORT        "NO CARRIER"
ABORT        VOICE
ABORT        "NO DIALTONE"
""           ATDT<phone number>
sername      <user_id>
assword      \q<secret>

     It shouldn't be too difficult for a script to support this type
of login or the one you suggested.  

     The important thing is not the form of the script, but that the
install process configures a simple ppp connection.  This will permit
the new user to use the ftp option of dselect immediately, and would
eliminate a lot of the new user questions on deb-user.
