Re: [rhn-users] USB Modems

[Duane <mysticstar shadow net>]

hello
I've had this problem too!
I've been unable to find a ISP that supports DSL using LINUX! I had bellsouth,
but they seem to absolutely not to support LINUX! even with me demanding
and threatening  several times they do so! meanwhile I dropped them as a
ISP. I did find one person that said he got it partly to work. it does requite
a lot of work and I'm not good enough with LINUX.

"Using the Alcatel SpeedTouch USB ADSL modem with Red Hat 7.2 LINUX" by J.
D. Frankland, 08 April 2002. I forgot where I found this. maybe FreshMeat.
I've looked on DSLReports too. but not lately.

it is a very verbose document!

I'm hoping that somewhere someone in the LINUX community will find a way
to get DSL to work with LINUX!!
it was great in Window 98 to download some very big applications and large
amounts of Email in a very short time. I was hoping Red Hat with it enormous
resource could do it.there seems to be no focus on this problem. I really
don't see too many people addressing this problem! DSL is great when you
don't have to wait 24 hours to download LINUX for instance! or 2 to 4 hours
for other programs! it saves wear and tear on your MIND! at least what is
left after waiting 2 hours instead of 5 min for a download!

SIGNED
still looking for a ISP that supports DSL for LINUX - smile
