Very simple. You need to have ppp installed. As root run pppconfig
and create a provider profile by answering the questions about the
phone number to dial, the serial port to use, etc.
Assuming that you named your provider 'abc', you get online by
typing
pon abc
on the command line. To proceed with the rest of the installation
use the command
dselect
and go through the numbered menu items in sequence.
After leaving dselect, get offline with the command
poff
