I do recall a notice that the download version may not work with some DSL modems due to not having commercial software included with it. Is this the issue I am having, and is it possible to get online with the free download version over a DSL connection? > > Thanks very much, > Jeff > I recently hooked up with sbcglobal.net and I had to take yahoo for mail. When you have to get info from those people dont tell them its for linux. Since most of them don't know the system they are supposed to support they may never know. An email with a specific request takes a day but the info is good. Talking to them is near hopeless. When you boot into KDE there is a panel in the center of the screen. That is one of your accesses to mcc if you unchecked the box click on the welcome flag. Click on the lower left hand icon (Configure System). >From here you can set up everything you need to connect. Ask questions here if you need help. -- Regards; Hoyt
