Re: Configuring USB ADSL modem in SUSE

[Deane Foreman]

I found the files on the DVD, but I still don't know enough about Linux to 
open them in order to read them.  I have tried getting to them by opening 
Office, Acrobat etc and then opening the files - but no good.

Same thing with Rute - downloaded the html version and I can open the folder 
from the NTFS Windows partition when in Linux, but I'm not able to read the 
docs in it.  So I would educate my own good self about this operating system 
if I could but I am having no luck so far.  Basically, I suppose I lack too 
many first principles about Linux/Unix to attempt to use it for anything 
yet.  I had been hoping to get online in Linux and then surf for basic 
tutorials to build a basis for working in Linux.

I am hoping to get hold of a router in the very near future which will, I 
hope, obviate the necessity to get the USB modem going.

I do have a dial up modem but it is an ISA slot model and my current 
motherboard has no ISA slots.  I'm not sure if I can use a dial-up 
connection to an ADSL account either.  Nice of you to offer though, Volker.

Oh well.  Thanks for the help so far.
