I have the opinion that what an ISP doesn't know won't hurt them. Odds are
they don't have a way (or even care) to detect what OS you are using. My
experience has been that you might get a snide "Oh well we don't support
Linux." Besides it's not like using Linux will cause them any harm... so odds
are they just don't want to fund the training for their tech support.

Since the usual rule is not to *randomly* capitalize, but rather to capitalize
all words that begin sentences, no information is lost. Think of it as an
xor.
What information did you think was being destroyed, anyway?

See the attached file (showing the command: netstat -w 5).
Bascially, I want a utility to give me a running total of the

Subject: Re: StarOffice vs. Applixware vs. WordPerfect
WP is not a suite although a friend told me it was. Installed, 10 minutes later
uninstalled.
Applix 4.4.1 (+filters patch) imports and exports office97 pretty good when it works.
All
too often it goes into a 100% CPU loop when importing complex or long (e.g. 15+ pages)
documents. The spreadsheet is a little on the rudimentary side. Graphics display is
poor: screen repaints, flicker, dropping bits, etc.
SO5 seems to work best, however it uses up the most memory, has the worst documentation
and doesn't export office97 which is a fatal for me.
Bottom line: none of the 'office97' replacement suits seem to know how to write +95% or
even fault tolerant import filters [or export in SO5 case]. Most crashes on import.
Spreadsheets work best, Word clones 2nd, ppt a feeble last. Until this changes it's
not
possible to switch given so much of the business office world traffics in office97.
I'm
still dual booting :(.
That being said give it a try. SO5 is free and I believe a time bombed applix is on
the
#3 RH5.2 disk. Remember to check out all three office97 apps.

For printer and font setup tips for WordPerfect, see my web page at:

Note, however, that the downloadable version lacks a font installer, so
you'll be stuck with a limited range of fonts unless you buy the retail

Sounds like you could probably make use of the popular mirror.pl
program. It is used to mirror ftp sites, and will recurse directories.
I think it's your best bet given what you said you want to do. I don't
have my bookmarks handy just now, but I believe you can find it at
