     The easiest way is to use minicom to dial in to your ISP.  Enter your
account info and after you get your standard PPP garbage characters, hit
CTRL-A and then Q.  This will exit you from minicom, but keep the
connection open.  You'll then need to activate your PPP Daemon with a
command such as:

     pppd /dev/modem defaultroute

  That should have you up & running for using Netscape under X Win or any
of your command line i-net prog's.  I'm sure there's a cleaner way to
accomplish this, but this one should work in the mean time for you.

remember right :p :) That has a few nice simple scripts and a VERY
simple txt fileon how to get up and running.
