Brian:

All I did to get my system to connect via dial-up was followed the
instructions in the ISP-Hookup Howto.

Of course the howto requires you to read a couple of man pages, but
it's not really a whole lot of reading.

If it is not working even after that, then maybe something else is
wrong with your system. One thing you need to know is the irq and com
port that your modem is configured for. If you have one of those plug
& play winmodems, they don't work under linux (from what I
understand).

| What is that ^^^^^^^^ for?
