Hi Scott,  

Thanks for realizing that I am a newbie and this subject is difficult for me.  
Unfortunately, most educators and people who write books on this subject have 
no idea how to communicate to a person like me.

I will first check the second webpage.  The first one may be well above my 
understanding and will take me a long time to decode.

Fred

The new user might find all that extraneous information somewhat, errm,
extraneous. 

http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-configure-modem-to-connect-to-the-internet-using-a-ppp-dialup-account.html

seems to be more useful for the beginner.
