After running pon and you start to hear the 'weird noises' enter: tail /var/log/ppp-log (at least I think it's ppp-log...I'm running Windows at the moment) And keep running it (up arrow, enter) until you see that ip addresses have been assigned in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx can be a 1, 2 or 3 digit number. Once ip addresses are assigned you can run ftp, lynx or anything else you've installed and configured correctly.
