How to make particles follow a curve

Hi Guys,
i'm trying to make a fancy animation for our company logo, but i'm having trouble with understanding the particle system.
I cant figure out how to make particles follow a line with a sine wave at its end. I tried pemitter->pfollow->prender and used a bezier curve (which i drew ontop of the logo to match it) in the pfollow node to tell the node the path. The particles should move along the line and stick to it while going from left to right. but whatever i tried so far, the particle stream is somehow effected by the curve, but the particles do not follow it.
is there a simple way to explain how to get particles to follow a line? i dont want to emit them across the line. after emitting them, they should fly along the line.
thanks already!
