What is the output of 'ifconfig' and something like 'netstat -nr'?

 PPP will make a dialup connection to his ISP, Earthlink, but Konqueror doesn't 
 seem to recongnise that a connection to the Internet is there.
 
 At Bill Lindley's suggestion I had him do a "route add default ppp0" thinking 
 that the default route was set to eth0. The modem is a Xircom ethernet/modem 
 combo PCMCIA card.  No luck.
 
 Where else should I be looking? What logs should I ask him to e-mail me?
 
 Vielen dank im Voraus fuer einige Hinweise,
