Hi Paul,
I will check out the website you gave me. As I mentioned to Gerald, some of the information that is 5 years old on how to set up a dial-up is no longer valid. I do not know how much less valid information from 10 years ago is. I will keep an open mind.
How do I find out what Terminal program I have on 10.04.1?

This is going back a ways when I used to setup Linux for dial up but this is how I used to do it. First you need a real terminal program, not something like xterm but something like minicom.
Then you have to figure out exactly what it takes in order to establish a network connection manually through that to your ISP.
Armed with that knowledge then you can setup your CHAT and PAP scripts to automatically connect you to the Internet. pppsetup was a great help to me for doing all of that but I think only version 1.61 really worked for me.
Yes it is all rather a pain and maybe there are sometimes easier ways of doing it but this is the established sure fire way of not operating blindly.
I sort of remember AT&F1 being one modem command string that helped in all of this. This is all going back over 10 years so it is all hazy to me today.
This should explain the process in more depth
