I'm using a package called uka_ppp, downloaded from a link on fdisk.com.
It works pretty well once it's setup, though that process is a bit
technical in nature.  For someone not familiar with internet configuring,
it could be quite the pain to setup.  After I get connected, I run a
program called rlfossil, then connect to the net using my standard comm
program with rlfossil handling the ppp connection, creating an extra com
port, and I point {commo} to com5, and then I can telnet/rlogin anywhere I
wish.  Works fine for me.
