I want to dial up Freeola from Linux but I don't know how and Freeola provide no support for this.

It should be possible with PPP protocol but I don't know much about this.

I get an ominous message about 'Checking my system' then garbage and it hangs up.

Has anyone managed to do this?

I'm using Suse with KDE graphical desktop environment. It has a PPP set up thing called KPPP but I don't know how to fill this in correctly.

Simply dialing up with direct commands to the modem gets back the garbage message.

Any help would be much appreciated.

I am afraid that we can provide no support for this. I use linux at home and work but use networked iNet connections. Freeola would be the same as all other ISP's just with a different dial-up number. Which linux are you useing and is it in graphical mode?

Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
Impressive control panel
I have to say that I'm impressed with the features available having logged on... Loads of info - excellent.
