Now you've been screwed twice---once for the $108.00 that went to BG for
your _free_ windows and again to save the mfg. a few bucks and let the
winmodem steal your processor power and be incompatible with anything
else. They are not supported by Linux, the concept is not supported by
Linux, the morality is not supported by Linux, and I for one, hope it
stays that way. rm -rf windows and pick up 2.5Gigs of free disk space to
get even.
