You should download Eznet from Linuxberg, this does it with no pain at all.
However you should reset all of the Control Panel options to default, i.e. no
trace of previous dial up attempts left before installing Eznet.. The only
other snag is that Eznet requires su to function. There might very well be a
fix for this also, but the su session is only going to be required to get you
connected to your ISP. Let me know how you get on.
