Minicom is like HyperTerm in Windows - it is a terminal program that can access your modem. As far as I know, it is not capable of passing off a ppp connection to pppd.

You need to setup pppd for your system. There are a few ways to do it - from scratch, with a utility like wvdial or kppp, or using the network config utilities available in RedHat (netcfg). Basically, you need to setup the pppd to use a program called chat and a chat-script to dialup, login, and start a ppp connection.

Since I use Slackware, I go with the "do it yourself" method - you will probably want to look into using kppp. You may want to post over in the networking forum here, as kppp and wvdial are very popular, from what I have read.

I have RH7 and the rp3 dialer works just fine but if you need to... install the code for wvdial and hack away.
