In my early days of using Linux I had used dial-up for Internet
access. I
also wrote information in a book about how I had set things up
so I could
reference the should I need it again.
I have notes from
1995 about how I configured Linux to access the network of
the company I
was working at via dial-up using pppd. I have notes from
October of 1996
where things had changed and the way to get a PPP link via
dial-up in
Linux 2.0 was using dip.
It has been a long time since I last used
dial-up. I don't know if dip is
still the way to get dial-up network
access or if there is something newer
available.
pppd and dip will
give you something to research. The GUI configuration
tools might have
options that will make setting up dial-up easy. If not, I
can type up some
of my notes for you of what I did back in the day.
