-
-<para>&tde; offers a complete Internet experience, with all the
-programs you'll need to make the most of the Web, email, Usenet and
-many other Internet technologies. But before you can enjoy &tde;'s
-advanced features, you'll need to get online. Here's how:</para>
-
-<para>If you're using <quote>dialup</quote> (that is, connecting to
-the Internet with a modem connected to a telephone line), you'll want
-to set up the &tde; dialing program, &kppp;. If that sounds
-complicated, don't worry: &kppp; has an advanced configuration wizard,
-which will usually take the pain out of setting up your dialup
-connection. Take a look at the next two sections for more
-details.</para>
-
-<para>If you're using a broadband connection, or connecting via a
-local network, things are easier (from the point of view of
-&tde;). Once you've set up the connection with the tools provided by
-your &Linux; or &UNIX; distribution, &tde; will use the connection
-automatically.</para>

-<sect1 id="getting-online">
-<title>Getting online the easy way</title>
-
-<sect2 id="things-to-prepare">
-<title>A few things you should have ready before you start</title>
-
-<para>If you have a fairly modern &Linux; distribution, you might find the rest
-of this document superfluous. &kppp; comes with a clever little wizard that in
-many cases can have you up and running with an internet connection in just a few
-minutes.</para>
-
-<para>Whether using the wizard or not, you should know the following information
-before you begin:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>Your <acronym>ISP</acronym> modem pool phone
-number.</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>Your username and password for your
-<acronym>ISP</acronym>.</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>Your <acronym>ISP</acronym>'s <acronym>DNS</acronym> servers
-(one is sufficient, but two is better).</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>Other optional information you should find out to fully access your
-<acronym>ISP</acronym>'s services are:</para>
-
-<itemizedlist>
-<listitem><para>The incoming mail server address (often <systemitem
-class="systemname">pop.yourisp.com</systemitem> or <systemitem
-class="systemname">mail.yourisp.com</systemitem>).</para><para>Also find out if
-your <acronym>ISP</acronym> uses the POP3 protocol or IMAP.</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>The outgoing (<acronym>SMTP</acronym>) mail server address (it
-could be the same as the incoming mail server, or it is often called something
-like <systemitem
-class="systemname">smtp.yourisp.com</systemitem>).</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>The Usenet News (<acronym>NNTP</acronym>) server address (possibly
-<systemitem class="systemname">news.yourisp.com</systemitem> or <systemitem
-class="systemname">nntp.yourisp.com</systemitem>).</para></listitem>
-<listitem><para>Any proxy servers your <acronym>ISP</acronym> has set
-up.</para></listitem>
-</itemizedlist>
-
-<para>All this information is probably available on any paperwork you received
-from your <acronym>ISP</acronym> when you signed up with them, or you can find
-it out from your <acronym>ISP</acronym>'s support telephone line.</para>
-
-<para>Armed with the above, and a fairly recent default installation
-of &Linux;, you may well find that setting up an internet connection
-is as simple as running the &kppp; wizard.</para>

-<para>The first window you see contains just introductory text, explaining the
-things you read about in the first section of this chapter. Click
-<guibutton>Next</guibutton> to move on.</para>
-
-<para>The second window asks you to choose the country you live in. Not all
-countries are represented here, and if the country you live in is not listed,
-you will have to click <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>, in which case the Dialog-based setup will start for you to continue
-with.</para>
-
-<para>On the next window, you will be given a choice of Internet
-Providers that &kppp; knows about, based on your choice of location in
-the previous window. Again, if your <acronym>ISP</acronym> is not
-listed here, you will have to click <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> and
-do your setup in the Dialog-based setup</para>
-
-<para>You will now be asked to enter your username and password for your
-internet connection. Please note, that for some <acronym>ISP</acronym>s this
-differs from your mail account user name and password, so make sure you use the
-right one. Choose <guibutton>Next</guibutton> to continue.</para>
-
-<para>On the next window, you have a chance to enter any special dial prefixes
-you might have - for example, if you must dial <quote>0</quote> for an outside
-line, or if you have a prefix you can dial to turn off call waiting. Choose
-<guibutton>Next</guibutton> to continue.</para>
-
-<para>And that's all! If you want to revisit any of your choices, you can use
-the <guibutton>Back</guibutton> and <guibutton>Next</guibutton> buttons to move
-back and forth through the dialogs. When you're done with your settings, click the
-<guibutton>Finish</guibutton> button, and you're all done.</para>
-
-<para>If you need more details, you can read the full &kppp;
-manual in the &tde; Help Center, or by typing
-<userinput>help:/kppp</userinput> in the <guilabel>Location</guilabel>
