how do you connect to the internet? 56k, ISDN, xDSL, Cable, T1, etc...

without that info, it is impossible to help you.

if you are using KDE as your desktop, then KPPP is the tool you are looking for. you might have to configure it the first time as root, i have no clue as ive never used 56k under linux.

also what distro are you using, that should help others help you further.

It is a good idea to declare which distribution you are using. This helps much to the others who are using the same distro and you may also get your distribution specific answers.

Anyway, is your modem already detected by your Linux? This is your first job.

Then you may use wvdial tool, which RedHat / Fedora contains in their distributions. It is a command line tool and a good one to use with.
