Am very new to linux. (all attempts having failed previously)
Have installed Mandrake 8.0

It wont go online although I've entered all the parms for my
adsl modem. Strangely the install never prompted me for a phone
number for the dial-up and it doesn't recognise my 57k Conexant
modem either.

Obviously I've gone astray somewhere even though I've
re-installed, looking for the opportunity to enter a phone
number.
Also cannot find how to effect a dial-up connection from within
KDE. (was thinking that this approach might demand a phone
number).

Original System: 2 machine lan, win98.
Have made one machine dual booting win98/Mandrake8.0.
Used Mandrake's default auto install.
Linux install has spotted the nic card.
I am wondering if now expects me to connect over the lan without
dialling up. - Just a newbie guess.



Any advice appreciated.
