Can someone get me headed in a good direction with setting up a
RedHat5.1 box (Toshiba Tecra laptop) to communicate with my ISP?

I was using "Ian's PPP Primer for Linux 2.0" located at
http://ww-callug.cs.berkeley.edu/ppp/primer.html
and got hung up just out of the 'gate'.  The thing that is 
confusing me is the info in the /etc/hosts file.  My ISP assigns
an IP address each time I log on, so what do I put in the 'hosts' 
file, the Primary and Secondary DNS IP's?  

What is 'localhost'?  Is this something that I should change,
or just leave alone?  

Answers to these will hopefully get me started.

Thanks in advance,

Michael
