Take the time to setup kppp, It's a great program. You need to know your 
ISP's Domain name(something like--myisp.com), and the DNS(dynamic  name 
server) this is a number like 203.149.0.3, and your ISP should furnish this 
info to you. If they say you don't need them, tell them you are running 
Linux.

The hostname is your machine name and you don't need to change that to 
connect to the internet. You do need to set your serial/com port to use in 
linuxconf. that is ttyS0, ttyS1 etc.

KPPP works fine and the one for KDE2 is even better.
