you need to provide more info, are you going to be using a dial up modem? or cable modem? or dsl? your question depends mainly on how your isp does things. i saw you asked are there any free programs, well you can get pretty much any program for anytask for free, especially for linux, go to gnu.org and search there. did you mean free isp? then thats dial up, you will have to find one your self. try netzero.com and see if they support unix os's.
