I had a problem with using my PPP connection through Linux. The data transfers were
really slow sometimes but fine at others. I played with it for a while, then finally
called the help desk.
I was on hold for twenty minutes, then:
Tech Support: "Hi. How can I help you?"
Me: "Hi. I'm trying to hook up my linux box via PPP, and I'm running into some
problems. It works fine
under 95, but I can't seem to get it to connect right under Linux. I can
resolve hostnames and even --"
Tech Support: "Um, sir -- what kind of computer is it?"
Me: "IBM compatible. Specifically, an Ambra."
Tech Support: "Ok -- what happens when you try running Trumpet Winsock?"
I slap my forehead.
Me: "This is Linux. It doesn't run Trumpet Winsock."
Tech Support: "Oh - it's a DOS program?"
Me: "No. It's an operating system. Trumpet runs fine under 95."
Tech Support: "Well, have you tried running this program under Windows 95 then?"
Me: "No, it is an operating system. It doesn't run under another operating
system."
Tech Support: "Oh. Ok, so what happens when you try to run Winsock under it?"
Murderous thoughts are going through my head. After a couple more exchanges back and
forth,
she finally understands that Winsock won't run on Linux for some weird reason.
Me: "So can I get an incident number so I can talk to a tech?"
Tech Support: "Sure. I just need to get some info from you."
She gets down my name, room number, phone number, computer type and brand, then we
get interesting again.
Tech Support: "Ok, so is this under Windows 3.1 or Windows 95?"
Me: "Neither. It's Linux."
Tech Support: "Which type of Windows does it run under though?"
Me: "Neither! It runs on its own!"
Tech Support: "Oh!!! Oh! I'm sorry, in that case we can't help you. We only
support Windows 3.1
and Windows 95."
Me: "WHAT?!?"
Tech Support: "Sorry. That's all we're currently supporting. Have a nice day."
