welcome linux......don't let age in way.....i'm 61!
you're in exciting time....it takes bit other os
out of system. after year won't go back.....i'm sure.

don't fast jump ship.....there may sharks in water....

if have usb modem should easy.....but first need to
check see if wvdial included in 9.04. (wvdial should find proper port etc....)

plug in usb modem.....

in terminal window type following: (cut & paste prevent errors!)

code:

sudo wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf lsusb

post output of above commands.

if wvdial isn't installed going have either have wired
connection, or use computer download packages, then
install wvdial , dependencies.

once wvdial installed need edit /etc/wvdial.conf
file add isp's telephone number, login & password etc.
can edit personal information with:

code:

sudo gedit /etc/wvdial.conf

a step step guide posted here (posting #4)
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.p...ghlight=wvdial
starting @ "these work wonderful wvdial, etc."

so, check see if wvdial installed, post outputs of 2 commands.

here dependencies wvdial.
debconf(>=0.5.00) | cdebconf
libc6(>=2.7-1)
libuniconf4.4
libwvstreams4.4-base
livwvstreams4.4-extras
libxplc0.3.13
ppp(>=2.3.0)

system -> administration -> synaptic package manager

use synaptic , search each of these (minus (>=2.7-1 etc))
see ones need download. (the ones installed
have box beside them filled in color....
green......if system.....)
find 4 missing.......


if using windows consider using keryx.
http://keryxproject.org/
download dependencies you.
i'd suggest downloading gnome-ppp, wvdial first.
