Maybe these will get you going. You might have to modify the login script,
as it expects the string 'PPP' (that always appears when my ISP starts up
ppp. Dunno about earthlink. You can connect to them using minicom and see
if you get a shell prompt, in which case you would need to add a line to
start up ppp. the cp commands are useful only if you have multiple ISPs -
I got this from a friend of mine who does, and never took it out.
