First off, does netzero pipe advertisements to your machine while you are online? From your email address, it looks like you are not looking to use Juno's free service for this. Juno pipes advertisements to your machine.
If NetZero doesn't send ads to your machine, the easiest would be to invoke the ppp configuration utility from whichever desktop you have (RHN PPP for Gnome, and KPPP for KDE).
Just add in the requested information on the screen and give it the device to which your modem is connected. (This should be /dev/ttyS0 for Com1, /dev/ttyS1 for Com2 etc.) Sometimes it can be linked to /dev/modem (ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem) then you can specifify the /dev/modem device).
You will next need to create a login script. It is easier under the Gnome PPP dialer than under the kppp one, but even then the kppp one isn't all that difficult.
Let me know what you are stuck with on the dialup script.
