Explore Unix. Linux is a Unix clone, so most everything that works
with basic Unix also works with Linux. Any kind of Unix user's guide,
shell programming guide, and Unix system or network administrator's guide
will be a great help. Your local library will probably have information.
If not there, the library of a local college which often allow use by the
general public. College and commercial bookstores are other good places to
check out, but they're more expensive. The main thing is becoming familiar
with the shell prompt, especially if you want to get anywhere in your new
OS, and Unix guides tend to be written by professional writers rather than
code hackers. They'll be written in layman's terms that new users can more
easily understand.

? You're turning around and providing your friends with service you
paid for, for free, and *not giving the cable company a cut*. That's
what they could complain about. Welcome to Reality--if you didn't think
of this, you're not cynical enough.

Yep. "56K" requires a special digital connect on one end of the line.
The ISP gets data directly from their T3, then sends a digital signal
down the copper to your telco's CO, where they convert it to analog and
send it to your phone line. This is one fewer D<->A conversion than the
normal way of doing things. Diagram below for both instances:
Comp->Modem->Phone->CO ... ->CO->Phone->Modem->Comp "normal" upload or
D A A A ? A A A D download
T3->ISP->gear->CO ... ->CO->Phone->Modem->Comp "56K" download
D D D D ? D A A D in 1 direction only
There is one fewer D<->A conversion in the bottom path, which is how you
can get better throughput in one direction only. Look up "Shannon's
Law" for more detailed info if you care, but bottom line is your friends
will only get 33.6K. If they live close, string some Cat5!

If minicom can communicate with your modem, check your modem settings.
Windows tends to create its own modem config and never informs the user
what changes it has made to establish an ISP connection. I was incorrectly
using the AT&B0 setting for months before finally realizing that DTE needed
to be locked with the port speed.

A friend (who is an expert in linguistics) tells me Chinese

I would speculate that Ms. Carter is *way* out of her
league. Sounds like a computer novice who is finding linux
not as user-friendly as some O/Ses. She also speaks (well,
writes, at least) poorly in English.
My advice to Tina Carter:
1) find a newsgroup in your native language (if it's not
English, otherwise study more English)
2) learn to ask a more meaningful question and understand
the answer without getting defensive or being offended
3) find a good book on Linux in that language
4) find a local Linux guru or user group who can physically
look over your shoulder (as suggested by somebody else) to
help you get started
5) lose Corel and try Debian or RedHat. RedHat is probably
the most common Linux distribution; I prefer Debian.
(Corel is based on Debian.) The version of Corel Linux on
this machine isn't up to par. In fact, I've upgraded,
deleted, and changed so much that I don't know what
distribution to call it.

I've seen other posts where Tina admits to being from
Finland.
TRY YOUR NATIVE LANGUAGE!
There must be Linux newsgroups in your language. (Isn't
Linus Torvalds himself from Finland?)
There must also be a user group near where you live.
Unless, of course, you're out on Baffin Island. I'm in
southwestern Ontario and I know everywhere you look there's
a user group around here.

If you know where the bad spot is, you could create a partition that
covers that bad spot, and never read or write to that partition. That
could be a bit of a hassle, though, and most likely not worth it.
Modern IDE drives check the disk surface regularly, and if they find a
sector that's marginal, they remap that sector to a pool of known good
spare sectors. When the spare sectors run out, you start getting
read/write errors, and the drive is nearing the end of its useful life.
If I were you, I'd back up all your data, then go buy a bigger and
faster drive--prices have never been lower....

And remember, always try to buy products whose manufacturers support
