Now that I suspect ppp is connecting to my ISP successfully I want to test the connection by running ftp or lynx. However, when I type lynx it doesn't know what I'm talking about so maybe it's not installed (where would I find it if it is installed?). ftp works but what is the syntax to connect to a site? I have trid ftp ftp.netscape.com and it says it can't connect to the site.
