I also use usrobotics external modem. When I installed sarge, I simply filled out the pppconfig wizard and that was basically it. After that you can type 'pon' in the terminal to connect and 'poff' to disconnect from the internet. If you run kde you can use its graphic Internet connection software simply by entering your internet provider's phone number, and your username and password into the dialog box. Gnome too has a graphical connection program but I forgot its name. J. Mak
