+<title>Setting up an Internet Connection</title>
+<!-- Contents shamelessly stolen from the KPPP manual, written by -->
+<!-- Lauri -->
+
+<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>

+<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
