Oops! It just dawned on me that if you don't have an internet connection 
neither of the methods I gave you will work. I don't know if gnome-ppp 
is on the cd. You can try it by putting the cd in your sources list. If 
it's not there see if a friend can download the package for you and 
transfer it on a flash drive to your computer where you can install it.
