Well since this is my test box I have a number of setups all on individual HD
in drawers. Systems include
SuSE 9.2 and 10.0 Beta2
Mandrake 10.1 and LE
Redhat 7.3
The operating dial up system which one can connect to the internet with has
Red Hat 7.3.
All have the same issue which is identical to when Red Hat 6.0 was set up on
existing operating system.

Kppp
On all systems. This is what is being used on the RH 7.3 system.

Thanks for asking the questions but I was thinking of suggestions as to how to
copy the file when I made the posting and ask the question. Not in how to set
up the modem drivers as I had assumed that that question would only be
applicable is copying the file which should be rather straight forward was
not successful.
Thanks
