ISP Configuration help, please.



I hope that someone can help me. I am a reasonably long-term user of Debian and other unixen, but one subject I have not yet mastered is how to configure my Internet Service Provider.

I am writing this email from Windoze, which I am temporarily reduced to using for all my internet needs.
My ISP is LineONE http://www.lineone.net, and I have a generic
CompUSA-type external modem. I just need to know how to write proper connection scripts (I think...).

I hope that someone can help me. I really want to complete the switch to linux. Oh and for the record. my system is a patchy debian-potato with bits of hamm in it. That is to say, the essential packagages which make debian-potato into debian-potato have been upgraded, but every-single-unimportant-package may or may not have been for reasons of convenience/hackery/insanity/bloody- mindedness/none of the above.

I know I'm drifting off-topic here, but I would like to say that I like it like that. It feels like it reflects... my inner self - patch, confusing, and un-stable. :-)
