CompuServe Messages

As a very novice on-line person I'm having trouble setting up and getting on the internet. I have downloaded AmiTCP-4.0 and PPP along with the PPPhelp file. Steve Pietrowicz helped me find the help file and I have updated my startnet file like the one he lists in the file. When I try I type startnet into shell I get something like "Open Device: Resource allocation failure. online failed statement 10. I have double checked the startnet file to make sure I entered the information correctly. Admittedly, my 1200 with 2400 modem may not be the best way to go, but it's all I can work with right now. I've tried reading network messages in forum this week but they haven't helped much. Could some downloadable information be put together with detailed step by step proceedures for getting on the net by Compuserve be developed for folks with little Amiga knowledge like me? Also, is there a copy of Amosaic available and where would it be found? Thanks for your time.
