As a new user of Linux, I have managed to get my system to boot up 
under Linux (using Lilo, I can decide between DOS and Linux), and many 
of the basic disk sets are setup--including apparently the n set which 
give me telnet and ftp, though only in loop-back i.e. I can telnet to 
conexos (which is the name of my system).

But I have not yet figured out how to access my modem. Would anyone be 
willing to suggest how I configure to access my 28.8 modem on Com 2, 
and connect to a PPP account which I have recently opened?

I have Linux Unleashed, but this does not give sufficiently detailed 
instructions on modem and networking operations...If you are unable to 
give me a lead, perhaps you can recommend another book?

Thanks for the time...
