Look at the Net and PPP howtos.

>1A) Which programs do I use?

You use PPP.  I suggest you hunt a program called EzPPP if you
are using X windows, as it has a nice simple interface.

Else you just set up PPP as per the howtos.

You have to recompile your kernel.  Make sure you have
the kernel source installed, go to /usr/src/linux
and read the README file.  do make cohnfig or make menuconfig
or make xconfig, answer the questions, make the new kernel
with soundcard support, and reboot.

Then you need to get programs that use the soundcard.
