Take dial up internet in Ubuntu

How to take dial up internet in Ubuntu?

there is a program called KPPP.. on application menu >> Application >> Add/Remove >> on "search" box just type in "KPPP" and on "show" box select all available application... you'll see 2 programs, KPPP and KPPPLogView.. select both and click Apply..

In ubuntu, there's no need for you to login as root.. if you want to install a program (a firewall as example) just type "sudo apt-get install firestarter" at command prompt.. sudo enables you to run admin/root command.

installing a modem driver that are not PnP in ubuntu requires a little knowlegde about linux.. 1st.. you have to read readme.txt, how to install documentation in that linux driver's folder.. some driver requires special care and special command. 2nd. Surf the web for the latest driver and download it.. 3rd Double clicking driver file wont let you go anywhere.. please read all documents in that folder and you might find commands like this ./configure, make, make install.. so read the instruction.. if you still have problems installing the modem driver.. feel free to zip and email me those driver files
