My wife and I relocated here from the Left Coast late last year and rented
temporarily down in Nashua. We recently bought a house in Amherst where our Nashua
ISP, ATT Broadband Internet, does not offer service (no big loss there). I

Some cable ISPs have areas that are so screwed up, the effective average
available bandwidth approaches zero. Even a modem is better than that.

Nothing's off-topic here... ;-)
So, back to dialup it is. I'm interested in any recommendations anyone
might have regarding dialup ISPs.

MV has been excellent, like Earthlink they offer other options as well
(for those lucky enough to qualify) and do officially support Linux.
I've been connected to them via ISDN for several years now (24x7) and
never had a problem on their end (can't say the same for the phone
company).
Also, I have a simple LAN that I'd like to keep intact. Has anyone had any
experience with anything like 3Com's OfficeConnect 56K LAN Modem (or
similar)? It
appears to be exactly what I'm looking for.
If you have an external serial modem kicking around, I'd recommend this, as

Also, while not as good as DSL or cable, there are some satellite systems

You need to boot the Windows XP installation CD-ROM and choose the
Recovery Console option when prompted. Then issue the FIXMBR command
In that case, he needs a bootable DOS floppy that has a DOS version
of fdisk on it, so he can boot into DOS and run 'fdisk /mbr'.
I'm fairly certain that the NT/2000/XP versions of fdisk won't do
the job, it needs to be from Win9x or DOS.

Yes. It simply re-writes the MBR boot code. It does not touch the actual
partition table.
