It's in the handbook, in the section on Networking. Point your browser
at /usr/share/doc/handbook/handbook.html . You don't need a server, just
lynx will do fine. 

I'm logging in w/ PPP now, but I have to dial by hand. Still a big
improvement over shutting down, changing wires and jumpers and booting
windoze... Anybody know how to make the boot manager boot from my second
harddisk? Or did I goof during installation?
