If everything goes well you shoud be able to go into linuxconf|Control Panel|Control PPP/SLIP/PLIP links, select the configuration (usually ppp0) answer yes to the question 'Do you want to activate the network link?' and you should shortly be connected to the internet. Disconecting is done in the same manner except you are asked to disconnect.
