isdn, kisdn and ipppd



Hi all,

well, I just installed RH 6.1 on to my computer.
Everything works great, I even mounted my Win98 to the system, and it's
perfect.
BUT, I can't seem to be able to use my AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card!

I read a few dozen disccusions on alt.linux, and figured that getting kisdn is
the ticket, simply install RPM and run.
No compile, no kernel mojo.. nothing.. REMEMBER, I'm a total newbie!

Anyhow, I downloaded kisdn and installed the RPM. It detected my Fritz
and I was happy.

BUT, nothing worked!  Afterr i configured my card and ISP and tried
to dial.. NOTHING happens!   Not a movement of one pixel on the KISDN
screen, no error message nothing..!

First question, am I right by assuming that after a fresh RH6.1
install, installing kisdn will do everything or am i missing out on
something...?

Ok.. next i try and play around trying to figure out what's wrong..
Guess what..?  There's NO ipppd file on my system!
2nd Q: can this be..?!

Well.. fumbling in the dark, I downloaded isdn4k-utils-1999-10-20.tar.gz
from AVM's site.. and.. and.. I don't have a clue of what to do now..

Since it's no RPM, i'm clueless!


Anyhow, PLEASE help me out, explain to me as PLAINLY as possible what I
can do now..
Again, I'm a Linux NEWBIE!!!   ;)

Thanks a lot people!
