You first have to establish a TCP/IP connection.  
This can be done via a modem or a network card.
For a modem, you execute pppsetup (assuming you 
have a compatible modem).  For a network card, 
you do the following steps:
----------------------------------------------
activate the network card (insmod)
assign an IP address to the card (ifconfig)
assign route to gateway (route add default gw)
----------------------------------------------

Cheers,
Steven
