Hi Dean,
If you are using Dial up, and have an External Serial modem,  if you 
have an external usb modem it must be
ACM compatible, or it may be a Winmodem, you will need the drivers for 
Linux.

open a terminal  "Applications menu"  > "Accessories"  >  "Terminal

Type sudo pppconfig  . press enter and  type in your password
Fill in your details.  Do not put anything in "Provider" slot

When finished Click on "Write files" and then Quit this utility.

Open  a Terminal and type  pon to connect    poff to disconnect

Hope this helps.
take Care
