Oh, yes, i've called them. The ISP and router mfg are pointing fingers at each other. The router mfg requires certain info from the ISP (so i can configure it) and the ISP states "we do not support routers." LOL, instead of pointing fingers at each other, better they should both point to the moon.
I am confident it will be resolved - i just need to keep calling until i get past their first-level support newbies.
Until then, i am thinking of connecting to the aol dial up service i have kept. Do people here have any luck accessing aol from linux?
The modem dials and does the handshake at the other end, but then drops me. I suspect that it is a problem with passing my username and password. I've used the Fedora modem setup wizard and correctly specified that info... Wondering if it is a matter of adding in some commas?
I found some software on lockergnome called pengaol that is over my head.
Also, thanks for the info on BrainBoost browser.
love and peace,

PS - Someone mentioned their Vectra - i worked on a Vectra in the office for more than 3 years - it was a WONDERFUL computer and i hated to part with it. At one point, the HP Vectra was a standard, but software writers kept developing apps requiring bigger better faster infrastructure - mostly RAM, sometimes processor power. For us at work, the point of no return was the switch from Win95 to Win98, which was also when they introduced more robust corporate snoopware.
It used to be that programmers were required to code simply and concisely and work within a small amount of RAM. But no longer - they keep writing fatter and fatter apps, with the attitude that the customer should add hardware to support the software. Speaking for myself, i wish it were different, but then again, great progress is being made and we benefit from it, too in some ways.
love and peace,
joyce
