how do I connect to the Internet with a modem?


OK , I made my 'winmodem' work as a 'linmodem', Then I used the networking tool and enabled it. But then, how do I make it dial up the phone number and connect me to the internet.
I have MSN as a provider. How can I make it dial the MSN numbers and connect me?

Thanks for your help and time
Martin

I think wvdial is an easy way to do it if your distro has that included. Depending on what distro and desktop you're running there may be several alternatives.
