Linux and data storage?

[Karen Lewellen]

Hi,
I have no local access to a Linux  machine, as said.  However nettamer 
is not necessarily  the only way I can connect to the net.
I have all the connection information, so any program that is a stand 
alone ppp/ip, as with agents for example, can get me to the net.
I will ask about these tools in dos, and a connection method.
Thanks,
Karen
