yes, this is what I thought, too. But the "technical service"-line-"helper" said, he is "not educated for Linux", only knows where to click in Windows (I guess, with "where to click" he ment the mouse button). What ever I asked him: "I don't know", he doesn't know what VPI/VCI is, he couldn't even tell me the IPs of their name servers ("in Windows everything is automatic, you don't have to know anything"). Haha, I agree: this *is* indeed one of the most important requirement to use Windows.The "documentation" received with the "modem" also just includes a booklet with all the nice little but useless images from windows and some from Mac. But no data... And the website... have you ever looked at it? Don't do :-) So, if anybody has an idea how I can go on, how to find out what is necessary to find out... I am greatful for any hints.
I had similar issues with getting KInternet to talk to my ADSL modem as well. My ISP requires that I log into their system with a user name and password. It is apparently possible with Linux.. but with very limited information. # I discovered a workaround of sorts. I have a router between the modem and the computer... and when i poked around in the router setup I discovered that it has the capability to connect to an ADSL modem and do the uname pwd negotiation. Added the require info, rebooted the router, and I was connected. that easy. So... my connection is ADSL line in to ADSL modem. ADSL modem to router (router does the connection stuff). Router to PC... and OS on the PC is irrelevant. Can you set up something similar maybe? C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
