linux aol dialer

Yesterday I was able to dial into aol using Fedora (C4) and Ubuntu distributions. I used the program penggy (penggy-0.2.1-2.mh.0.i386.rpm) which I downloaded from http://rpm.pbone.net (I searched for penggy and the program I selected was labled redhat - other distributions).

I used rpm to install the program in Fedora and I first used alien and then dpkg to install the program in ubuntu. FOr both I was in root and I needed to be in root to actually run the program.

For both distros, I created a symbolic link to the modem (ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem); edited the /etc/penggy/penggy.cfg file to add my screen name; and then edited /etc/penggy/aol_secretes (for screen name & password and /etc/penggy/phones for the phone number). Everything worked like a charm.
