Using windows you had the windows dialup/authentication by default. This 
would connect and provide your user name and password for you to connect 
to the internet.
You need an alternative with Linux and the easiest way would be to get a 
router that will do the same thing once set up. Most Routers will do 
this and are very easy to set up.
