The whole point is I believe Linux is dial up ready out of the box just like
it is ethernet ready (broadband/dsl) and wireless ready (wi fi). I have
found that only the ethernet ready connection settings are in by default. To
use wireless or dial up, you must click new connection in the Update
Manager. Since I use it for wireless, I know that it is named wlan0 or there
will never be anyway to ever get on wireless no matter how much stuff you
keep on installing. This is the same for dial up to my knowledge, and no
matter how much you keep installing it is not going to work until a new
connection is set up in connection manager which is the connection name I am
trying to find.
Like ethernet is named " Auto eth0 " by default or you will never got online
no matter how much stuff is installed. It is 'tarded to think someone would
make a computer and computer system that you have to put together anything
to get an internet connection. They don't. All computers and systems come
internet connect ready period. The only exception is the wireless modem that
may not be supported here there or everywhere. Technology changes does
effect wireless. The old v.92 dial up modem has been here since I have been
on computers since 2001. All computers and operating systems come ready
connect for that as well as broadband/dsl. You generally cal in to the ISP
to start subscription and any necessary connection settings and or software.
This does not have anything to do with computer connectivity - it is an ISP
issue.
I am waiting for an answer myself from anyone who uses Linux dial up for the
connection setting name.
Unfortunately the world is moving towards broadband/dsl particularly in the
USA. That is reflected in Linux as they for some reason expect that everyone
going to use it is on broadband/dsl montly subscription. It is the ONLY
default connection set up out of the box for some reason and shows.
Personally I would never go back to dial up and would take satellite high
speed if broadband/dsl was not available in my area. Dial up is just to
ridiculous to use in todays computing I am sorry to say, but is reality.
The only reason I am trying to hook up Linux dial up is like if I were to
change dsl providers I would have a dial up account free to use while
waiting which for one is 10 hours free a month from Juno.com.
There has to be somebody out here that uses Linux on dial up ! will they
please answer !
