Linspire with MSN internet provider

Has anyone ever connected to the internet before using MSN as an internet provider on Linspire? If so, how is this done considering MSN comes with software to do all the work?

Thanks

if you can get the drivers working for the modem all you will need is your log on details to use MSN ...

The drivers appear to be working fine. I typed in the access numbers and specified a connection name. For the User Name and Password I just used my MSN address and password. The modem starts dialing and reports "Carrier not found". I think it could be the connection name. On the other computer, Microsoft appears to hide the name as home. Would I specify that as a connection name or would I type in something different like msn.microsoft.com?
