Why don't you call the Library and ask them if you can use Netscape or Internet Explorer on your PC with the phone number that you are calling? If they say you can't, then they are not giving you a PPP connection, and you can forget about FNOS or any other tcpip program. If they say you can, ask them for the ip number of their nameserver. You won't be able to ftp to "thecorral.tzo.com" in DOS without it.
