How do you dial PPP ???

Loaded R.H.5.1
OK. I got the mouse working.
I've set up a PPP connection with my ISP number username etc.
How do I dial it / get communicator to dial it ?

If 5.1 has the Control Panel like 5.2, then click on Network Configuration. Go to PPP put in your init strings, # to dial, and DNS. When you get to this screen, PPP should have "inactive" listed beside it. Click "activate" at the bottom. It should dial then. If it doesn't, then ppp is not pointing to the proper port/device. You should be able to change that under PPP settings also. If 5.1 doesn't have the Redhat Control Panel utility, there's a more drawn out process using chat.
