Herb:

Follow these steps:

Main Menu >> System Tools >> Network
(At least I think that is where the menu is - they seem to keep moving
it around).  Look for the "Network" settings.  If you can't find them,
then just run this from the command line:

system-config-network

You should get a screen that walks you through setting up your modem.
You basically choose the make and model, enter the dialup numbers,
etc. and it does the rest.

If you are still stuck, message me via Google Chat and I might be able
to talk you through it via instant message.
