Hence my first question. The way I start an internet connection is to open Mozilla , press the configure network icon and press activate. The connection is made but there is no indication of what is happening as there is with Explorer. I therefore have no idea if and when the connection is made. Sound output is connected to another device so I cannot hear any tones. Must I disconnect this and rely on sound to know what is going on or is there another way?
I thought I had found the answer with modem lights. I have the icon on the panel but cannot make it do anything. Any suggestions?
You asked for the sort of problems beginners have so here is mine.

That's a very Windows way to start a network connection (if I may say so ;-))
You don't say which window manager you're using and I only have experience with KDE really. But on KDE you use KPPP from K->Networking->Remote Access->KPPP. I've added it to my quick launch bar at the bottom. In the KPPP setup dialogue, there is also settings for sound output etc.
