I assume that you want to get on the net, and that you can use a modem.
If this is true, then you can use kppp in the KDE desktop environment under
the Internet menu option, to provide the needed information about your
service provider, or you can use the linuxconfig utility either from the
command line, or from inside the Gnome desktop environment. These two
utilities do about the same thing, but they do not share information. If you
use linuxconfig from the command line, you can use the "ifup ppp0" command
to start the dialup connection, and the "ifdown ppp0" command to log off.
I hope this helps a little, although a more specific request would be of
help.
