Phone up NTL - Tech help are all friendly and they do know about Linux. Don't 
tell them your distro though, as some of them are Slackware bigots :-)

You should have a PID numbers nn nnn nn nn which is used to say who you are 
when you call.
A subscriber number nnnn nnn I assume this is for billing purposes.
A password ****************
and a login xxxxxxxxxx

The other information to ask them for is the POP3, SMTP, News servers.

While you are on get them to test to see if it is connected.
I had to switch off then on my NTL box so it registered the changes.
Once that's on set to DHCP and use ifconfig to see if you have an IP.

Also the FTP space available is the same 10MB they give you for webspace.
