Hi Mark,

I use Linux all the time now for internet news, mail, and www.
I am using Netscape 2.01 to do all this work once I have made a
PPP connection. If you look in at zip.com.au/pub/linux you will
find a PPP setup that you just load and update the username and
password for your ISP account.

The only problem I ran into was I hadn't set up my route default
to ppp0. So just make sure you do a "route del default" followed
by a "route add default ppp0" and you will be OK.  It is also a
good idea to run "ping -i 200 your.hostname" to ensure traffic on
your connection otherwise some if not all ISP will logged you
off after a certain time lapse.

Hope this helps,
Cheers Grahame   
.
