Noobie with Ubuntu and Linux Please Help

[Andrew VanSpronsen]

Hi Mitch,

Assuming all is well and your hardware has been detected properly you should 
just be able to open up a terminal and type: sudo pppoeconf 
The utility will walk you through the setup. I have not done this myself; 
perhaps Alex will have more details if you run into problems with the setup 
process. 

Feel free to come by the #Ubuntu-ca IRC channel and we can walk you through 
it if you think that would help.

Andrew
