My apologies. I assumed (in error) that you had a non-dial up account with 
an ISP and that you had access to an Internet computer.

I have never done an installation of Ubuntu using a dial-up service 
provider. Groping in the dark here.

So you CAN get on the internet as root but not as a user? If so, open your 
"users and groups" application. (It is in one of the drop down menus). 
Getting permission to use the dial up as a user would be a simple case of 
adding your username to the relelvant "group".

Hope this (sort of) helps. Wish I could help more.
