It should be easy... Macs have always been easy to get into the internet.

One "gottcha" is that modern phone companies have gone from a simple 
"plug and play" method, to an infernal process which makes it impossible 
to "plug and play". 

If it is a company like SBC/Yahoo, they want OS 9.x, or it is a pain. The 
problem is they *require* a recent version of Java be installed to 
"activate" the connection. Buch of hooey if you ask me, but they usually 
refuse to do it manually. the biggest problem comes from a dialog box 
that Java throws up, that often doesn't come up on Mac OS 8/9 which is 
the end user license. They require that to be clicked OK, even if you 
can't configure your machine otherwise. Worst case, you can borrow 
someone else computer for the day to "agree" to their stupid terms, and 
get on with your life. ;-)

good luck
