You can also use DrakNet to configure dial-up Internet access. At the main menu select Connect to Internet with a normal modem. You will then be prompted for the serial port that your modem is connected to. Select the corresponding COM port for your modem. You are then taken to the Dialup options screen(figure 10-6):
Connection name: this is the name you wish to assign to your connection.
Phone number: this is the phone number to dial to connect to your ISP.
Login ID: this is the username to log into your ISP with.
Password: this is the password to use with your username.
Authentication: this is where you select the means of authentication with your ISP. It can be PAP (plain-text password), CHAP (more secure), Terminal-based or Script-based. Your ISP should tell you which method to use (more often than not it should be PAP or CHAP).
Domain name: this is the domain name of your ISP (ie. provider.net).
First DNS Server: this is the primary DNS server to use.
Second DNS Server: this is the secondary DNS server to use.
Once you have filled in all the fields, you are ready to connect to the Internet using your dial-up modem.
