One difference I noticed is in |
| 14 |
/etc/conf.d/net.example. Much more extensive |
| 15 |
configuration for dial-up. Basically, it asks you to |
| 16 |
copy over the provider file under /etc/ppp/peers |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Also, when I did an emerge ppp on the 2.6.16 box in |
| 19 |
the log it mentions the new way of doing things, ie |
| 20 |
using ../conf.d/net |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
But I just noticed I had to rc-update del net.ppp0 |
| 23 |
default or it would a) dialout when booting and b) |
| 24 |
fail to connect. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
So I just do what I've always been doing pon <my-isp>. |
