Try a program called wvdial, you can't beat it for quick easy setup.  I
can't recall the URL but any search engine will point in the right
direction. It has a pretty universal conf file which you edit with your
user name and password so hooking up with your ISP should not be a
problem.  The modem auto-recognition/config feature is great. I'm using
it with a USR Courier external which was good when I had Windows on my
machine but it screams now.  I haven't even bothered to tweak the init
string.  The interface isn't pretty and you will have to alt-F* to another
console after you start it from the command line since it does not let go
of the console you start it at, but this has some advantages too.
