=====================================
First..., try not shouting at us ;o)
If you're using KDE as your desktop manager, try kppp to dial. I assume you
already have an ISP (fre or not). Get two dns #'s from them and add them to
your /etc/resolv.conf thusly:
search <your isp>
nameserver <dns#>
nameserver <dns#>
Set up kppp with the phone number of your isp. Be sure to properly configure
the kppp info for your modem and then try querying and then dialing. Let us
know how you make out.
