Hello,

The junk that you see is the PPP program on the isp computer attempting
to establish a ppp connection - you are using a regular terminal emulator
to try and connect.
Can't remember which 'setup -f foobar' it is, run the full screen setup &
look for isp / internet etc.
That will dial out using the ppp daemon to your isp & establish a ppp
connection - your box will be connected to the internet.
Once there you can use the lynx browser (if you have the WKS addon
loaded) to surf
and all the other standard linux net programs to play with...

Hmmm, strange... auto detection works fairly well on recent versions...

Everybody was at one time! ;-)
