I have just installed Caldera OpenLinux BASE 1.2 and cannot successfully
connect to my ISP.

I believe I have properly placed the necessary information into the PPP-ON
and Resolve.conf.  I have set my path to find the files including these in
the /etc/ppp/ directory.

What happens is I dial into the ISP, and connect ok using either Minicom or
PPP-ON.  I fire up either Lynx or Netscape 4.04 but get an error message
indicating 'Unable to connect ot remote host' (Lynx), and 'unable to locate
server' 'this server does not have a DNS entry'  (Netscape).

I have tried ping to my ISP and get 'unknown host' 

Observation of my modem shows no outgoing or incoming data.  The system
remains connected.

I then tried PPP-OFF and got the message 'PPP link is not active on PPP0'

I have exhausted my very limited knowledge, I cannot find the relevant
information I seek in the How-to's of FAQ's.  I have a couple of Linux
books, and followed the instructions implicitly.  No go.

What on earth have I done wrong??

Advice gratefully received.

Thanks
