+<title>Getting online the easy way</title>

+<sect1 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>
