Ok, I've gotten tired of having my work trashed every time I use a 
dos/windows or windows 95 machine, and am setting up a personal linux box 
in my office, so I need some questions answered.

1)  I've set up the software, so how do I upgrade the kernel after 
compiling it?  I've tried what the manuals and read me files say but it 
doesn't work.

2)  How do I set up a ppp connection over a phone line?  I have no idea 
how to write programs or scripts, I usually let someone else do it.  (As 
you can probably guess, I have no computer experience other than writing 
bad <proofreaders comment:  REALLY BAD > fiction.

3)  Can anyone tell me what dip and chat are?  I don't seem to have 
manual pages for them, and I don't understand the manual pages in the 
first place.
