You have not posted any information in order to get anything close to an answer. What version of Linux? Are you going to install a GUI? Have you ever run Linux? Its not an easy OS and all we can give you is tips and things to try as each set up is different. And, does your ISP allow linux boxes to connect? A lot don't.

I have to suggest (more reading) the excellent series of articles on setting up PPP from
scratch, which culminates w/ setting up dial-on-demand, locate at
Oreillynet.com. Here are the URL's
