There has been a misunderstanding. I am NOT asking how to set up my DSL
service under Linux. What I'm asking is because of a blurb on the
mandrake website. It asked people that had DSL to send their information
to Mandrake so DSL provider info could be included in the distributions.
What I want to know is if Mandrake has the information for Qwest Megabit
services yet, and if they don't- what information do they need.
Please don't send any more responses about which modem you use. The
second part about developing drivers for the Intel modem was a suggestion
to Mandrake to make their distribution more marketable. That way someone
with the Intel internal modem would not have to go buy the Cisco modem
simply because they want to switch to Mandrake. I already know that if
you're using Linux, currently the Cisco modem they offer is the only
choice of the modems Qwest offers. (Before someone sends a list of
compatible DSL moems/routers, I know there are a bunch more. I'm strictly
talking about the models in Qwests special offer).
Thanks,
Sam
