Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released!
Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team,
the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing
a great forum for collaboration and testing.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a
dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions,
and feedback. :-)
Have fun!

The +most common method is PPP, though SLIP is still occasionally used. Setting up your system +to speak PPP to a remote server is pretty easy. We've included a few tools to help you in +setting it up.</p> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN1954" name="AEN1954">5.4.1 <tt +class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt></a></h2> + +<p>Slackware includes a program called <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> to configure +your system to use your dialup account. It shares a look and feel similar to our <tt +class="COMMAND">netconfig</tt> program. To run the program, make sure you are logged in +as root. Then type <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> to run it. You should see a screen +like this:</p> + +<p>The program will present a series of questions, to which you will feed it appropriate +answers. Things like your modem device, the modem initialization string, and the ISP +phone number. Some items will have a default, which you can accept in most cases.</p> + +<p>After the program runs, it will create a <tt class="COMMAND">ppp-go</tt> program and a +<tt class="COMMAND">ppp-off</tt> program. These are used to start and stop, respectively, +the PPP connection. The two programs are located in <tt class="FILENAME">/usr/sbin</tt> +and need root privileges to run.</p> +</div> + +<div class="SECT2"> +<h2 class="SECT2"><a id="AEN1969" name="AEN1969">5.4.2 <tt +class="FILENAME">/etc/ppp</tt></a></h2> + +<p>For most users, running <tt class="COMMAND">pppsetup</tt> will be sufficient. However, +there may be an instance where you want to tweak some of the values used by the PPP +daemon. All of the configuration information is kept in <tt +class="FILENAME">/etc/ppp</tt>.
