George,

I too had much experience configuring systems when I started with
Linux a few months ago.  My suggestions were to take the steps I took
to learn how this works.  The problem is that different tools within
Linux handle things differently.  Also different ISPs do things
differently.  If you can figure out how to connect to your ISP by
hand, then everything else should be easy.  For anybody to help you
with this you will need to let us know what tool you are using.  Are
you using the KDE/KPPP?  I'm really not trying to "RTFM" you, but when
I, RTFM I learned a lot.
