configuring beos for the internet

I have the free personal edition of beos. Ive installed it several times and cannot figure out how to make it work on the internet. I have a dsl connection through a usb port . Its a linksys usb and any help would be appreciated
Have you checked whether your modem is supported by BeOS? That would be the first step. The Frizbe website maintains a hardware list for BeOS compatibility. WinModems, for instance (as well as my PCI hardware modem) aren't supported by BeOS.
The next step would be to check BeTips for hints or instructions - that site has notes on just about everything.
If these don't help, by all means post again here.
Lots of Luck, Bob
