In my early days of using Linux I had used dial-up for Internet access. I 
also wrote information in a book about how I had set things up so I could 
reference the should I need it again.

I have notes from 1995 about how I configured Linux to access the network of 
the company I was working at via dial-up using pppd. I have notes from 
October of 1996 where things had changed and the way to get a PPP link via 
dial-up in Linux 2.0 was using dip.

It has been a long time since I last used dial-up. I don't know if dip is 
still the way to get dial-up network access or if there is something newer 
available.

pppd and dip will give you something to research. The GUI configuration 
tools might have options that will make setting up dial-up easy. If not, I 
can type up some of my notes for you of what I did back in the day.
