Check for the squid HOWTO in the /usr/doc/HOWTO directory, or it will
be available at http://www.linuxdoc.org

Attach the modem physically (You do know to do this, right?;)). Point
the ppp dialer to the appropriate port. com1 = ttyS0, com2 = ttyS1...
Set up your chat scripts (available in the docs, as well as on the PCQ
site).
If you need a point and click interface, RH has a ppp dialer as GUI,
also you may want to check out kppp (if you have KDE installed)
