As Nux says, for most people the easiest (and most
likely to succeed) is to buy an external serial modem
a you would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't
work. It was certainly my route. If you get your modem
sorted, the next thing you probably want is kppp i
you're using KDE, though Mandrake probably has it's
own dialup tool.
