If you want to handle networking through your modem, you'll have to view PPP-HOWTO.txt for detailed directions; you may also want to look at NET-3-HOWTO.txt or NET3-4-HOWTO.txt . Also try 'man pppd' and 'man chat'. Some distributions come with graphical setup tools such as kppp. The NET* stuff is a lot to read for what should be a simple networking problem (they're primarily concerned with things such as how to route packets from one multinode subnet to another; most ISPs give you one dynamic IP address and that's pretty much it), but may be worth it. Various other issues, such as module loading (ppp.o is normally not built into the kernel, but loaded later) may crop up as well. (Note that in Debian, the HOWTO files are compressed -- PPP-HOWTO.txt.gz -- use zless if you have to.) [2] Not all dialup modems are supported. If it's external, no problem (just make sure the kernel supports serial and PPP, if you build your own; the kernel as installed on most distributions should support both already, as loadable modules). If it's internal and contains a UART, no problem. If it's a WinModem, take a look at www.linmodems.org. See http://www.winehq.org for more information on Wine.
