man mount
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
or
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy

cd /mnt/floppy and your off.

The ppp-howto will help you get on the internet, as will
pppconnhandle-0.1.2.tgz on
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/network/serial/ppp IF you have a
dialin shell account....otherwise you should try the netcfg tool in X an
add a ppp interface...click PAP and enter your ISP's phone number then your
username and password..then activate will bring it up.
Make sure first you set the pointer to the proper device file for your modem.
/dev/ttyS0 = COM1
/dev/ttyS1 = COM2
etc..
Then
ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem
ls -la /dev/modem will confirm it.
