[ILUG] pppd,dialup problem

[Emmanuel Stone]

i've been having problems with my nolimits dialup under linux for a few
months. I recently reinstalled rh6.1 and it still does not appear to be
working. I think it might be dns servers or something similar but i
could be completely wrong. (all is fine under win so it's definitly my
fault).

here is output of wvdial
