external compat modem

[Cyber Source]

kppp would be the easiest, I prefer ppp scripts and using the modem 
lights app in the panel. If you need help with the ppp stuff let me know 
otherwise fire up kppp, change the modem to what it shows up as and hit 
query modem, it you get responses, your all set. I had a client that was 
on usadatanet (now converted to Cyber Source ISP, our dialup, because 
the usadatanet connection kinda sucked), they do however use pap 
authentication so all you need is his user name and password and your 
all set.
