Use kppp to dial up. Get the details you need to insert from an
ISP somewhere near you. "Linux" don't provide ISPs themselves;
nor, to my knowledge, do Mandrake.
Two further suggestions.
Turn the caps lock off - it is like being shouted at.
As a next step set up kmail - dead easy and a delight to use -
and then we'll all be spared the acres of gunk at the bottom of
your e-mail.
Linux is dautning to start with but hang on in there - it's
really worth it.
