I want to be able to connect to my internet service provider via modem
with Linux. I currently use Netscape 1.1 when in DOS. I know that I
need a graphical web browser like Netscape (I have Xfree86 up and
running ) but what else is needed. I've heard of 'dip' but don't
really know what it is or why I might need it. I have e-mailed tech
support at my internet service provider for help but haven't gotten a
response back yet and I am very anxious to get on the web via
Linux....any help would be greatly appreciated.

What about DOSEMU? What would be the disadvantage to just use my
current Netscape 1.1 (windows) with DOSEMU (if it works)?

Thank you in advance.

DIP is definately your answer (assuming you're using SLIP). If you take a look
and their basic dialup script (in /etc I believe) and make the modifications
for your servers IP# and your username/password config then you should be good
to go. It should be fairly.
