The username, password handshake seems to work and I immediately get

this is my first attempt at each of these things.
Try wvdial. This is automatic.
I have, often. Same result - "Requested Service Denied"
The CD I am trying to read is Debian install.
I have to concede that if out box operation of many preconfigured
desktop apps are important and security updates and customization are
secondary concern for you, those rpm based systems (openlinux/caldera, redhat,
suse, mandrake, turbolinux, ...) are easier to set them up. But
configuring and updating is another story.
I totally agree. I run all Debian. I was just trying to find a way to
get Debian on this old box.
I am hoping the Debian install will get easier for non-technical users.
I am trying to promote Linux to a lot of them. Possibly Progeny will
make the difference.
Thanks,
Paul
