1. Get a true external modem.

I used… TRENDnet TFM-560X 56Kbps serial port modem.

2. Get Gnome PPP – Applications > Add/Remove > Gnome PPP

Configure it as you would any dial up connection. Enter your ISP’s phone #, your username, and password. That’s it. All you need to do now is connect.

This method has worked for both me & my mom, running Ubuntu Feisty 7.04, Gutsy 7.10, and now Hardy 8.04 LTS. This is by far the easiest solution to dial up internet problems with linux. This works nicely with Firefox, which is configured by default for use with dial up service. Opera, however, is the best choice for a dial up browser.
