UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

can i config my modem whithout using x?
how can i?

What Unix are you using?

From Redhat 7.0 and above, you should have wvdial. You can run wvdialconf to set up any attached modems, then run wvdial & to dial it up.
See the man pages for wvdial and wvdialconf, if you are using a Redhat-derived linux.

Please post back if you're using anything else.
