[Simply Computers] Linux Distro

 

Hi, group I have a couple of older desktop systems. Had w98 installed.
Would like to install a Linux Distro that will use a modem for dial up.
I am giving them to folks in need that do not have anything but dial up available.
I use Unbuntu 10.1 with DSL, the forums say there is an item called (Network) under either Admin or Preference where you can select your modem and setup dial up. I have installed versions 7.0? up to 10.1
so far I have not found this item, found network tools and network connections but nothing in either concerning dial up.
supposedly you can use the command line to get it working but
when I have entered the commands I have found in the forums I
get messages such as package not for this version, or does not exist.
So does anyone no of a Distro that the setup is close to Windows.
The computers are working fine using a usb wireless adapter with Ubuntu
9.04.
