hi,
   So finally, I have come to the stage where I would like to dial
   up to my ISP and use linux as I would use my windows box. The
   problem(s) is (are):
   1) I do not know much about PPP which my ISP has,
   2) or how to set it up on my linux box,
   3) having read the manuals pages, I gather I have to set up
      a chat script (??), use something like dip to establish a 
      connection, ... then theres things like PAP and CHAP etc.
      Things are too confusing ... AARGGHHH !!!

   Perhaps, some one could explain in simple language what is to be
   done, and sequence of how things are to be done. And if you have
   managed to read this far, then thanks for your patience.

   And to those replying, thank a million, in advance.

Cheers,
Rajnish
