Your friend? Can do one of two things, run dip manually:

dip -t -v
port cua1 'your modem port'
netmask 255.255.255.0
speed 38400
get $remote 205.220.110.1 'your gateway address'
term
atdt 5551212
login:yourusername
password:yourpassword
slip 'or whatever fires up the slip link from the prompt'
<CTRL> <]>
get $local 205.220.110.101 'your IP address'
mode cslip 'or slip if your ISP doesn't support cslip'


'you then will be back at your computers prompt, you may need to use the 
route command to tell your computer that that IP is a gateway'
route add default gw 205.220.110.1 

'make sure you have your host's IP setup as the default in /etc/hosts'
This works for me hopefully it will work for you too, you can take this 
info and modify one of the many dip scripts on the net which will 
automate this process...

Good Luck!
