If just setting getting the Netscape browser to login is the problem your
ISP might make it mandatory to browse via the proxy server, We at Corplink
do this.
Note if establishing a ppp connection is what your after then follow the
instructions below. Remember to include your own ISP phone number in place
of the one below and your ISP local and remote IP addresses
Good luck.........

First make sure you have a kernel with PPP support and that you have the PPP
programs on your system.
The PPP programs normally live in /usr/sbin and are called pppd and ppp-on
and ppp-off. Also find out
which device is connected to your modem and verify the speed and connection.
Once you know you can talk
to the modem then you can proceed.Remember,
Make sure you have the following before you start.
1. /usr/sbin/pppd
2. /usr/sbin/ppp-on
3. /usr/sbin/ppp-off
4. Kernel with PPP support.
5. Modem device, normally /dev/modem or /dev/cua1 or /dev/cua2
To start, create a file called /etc/ppp/options with the following content
adjusted to your particular configuration./dev/modem38400 defaultroute+ua
/etc/papnoipdefault Next, create a file called /etc/pap with the following
content adjusted to your particular substituted configuration.
File permissions need to be 400 (chmod 400 filename).usernamepassword. Next,
create a file called /etc/ppp/pap-secrets with the following content
adjusted to your particular substituted configuration. The " is mandatory.
File permissions need to be 400 (chmod 400 filename)."username" * "password"
Next, create a file called /usr/sbin/startppp with the following content
adjusted to your particular configuration.
In particular check the phone number. File permissions need to be 700 (chmod
700 filename).#!/bin/sh
/usr/sbin/pppd connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" ATDT0399220000 CONNECT' To use
enter the items between the """/usr/sbin/startppp" to start PPP
"/usr/sbin/ppp-off" to stop a PPP connection. Remember to always check the
modem to make sure you have disconnected. Thats it. The above configuration
has worked successfully.
Monitor using tail -f /var/adm/messages for progress reports. You should see
something like the following.
Mar 26 02:33:07 host pppd[131]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0
Mar 26 02:33:08 host chat[132]: send (ATDT0399220000^M)
