in the /usr/doc/scripts there two files I copied to /usr/sbin and made
executable. these are ppp-on and ppp-on-dialer you need to edit ppp-on with
your ISP phone and your name etc the ppp-on-dialer may need to be edited too
so the command 'ppp' is run last thing of all you get into an xterm window in
X and run 'ppp-on' and when the lights on your modem steady up you run
'netscape' I had to edit the ppp-on-dialer so the DIALER-SCRIPT pointed to
/usr/sbin instead of /etc/ppp/ppp-on-dialer ah well jonathan kitchin
