Hi, I would like to know how to make Linux goes to the web!!!!
( I want to connect to my ISP).
First: my hardware:
- Pentium 233 mhz (on the last Asus TX97-LE MB model before PII).
- 64 MB of SDRAM.
- enough hdd space to install linux and X 3 times...

Second : Linux package : = RedHat 5.0. (v2.0.31 kernal)

My problem-S-:
 - I KNOW ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT NETWORKING OR
   PPP setup....
   I 've browsed some isp's and ppp's HOWTO on my Linux installation
   and found nothing to really help me to understand how can I setup
   my modem and how to connect to my ISP. (Sprint Canada).
   All that I know is the Primary and alternate DNS IP Adress;
   the fact that I do not need a login script;
   My user name and my password-( I'm kidding).

   Is some body wants to help me learn that stuff?
   Because:
   I Love Linux OS (I have to use it at work by telnet-ing from win NT4.0)
   I have personal C/C++ programming projects on Linux.
      ( I'm ok for how to use gcc )
   Then, the Internet is all I need to switch definitively from
   Bill Gates buggy Windows! ( but I have to keep it for 3dfx GAMES! ).

        I would realy apreciate your HELP!   Sincerely , Bretzel.
