<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I dont know if this is the right place to be to
answer my problem</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Basicly I am looking for some info on Fedora 3s
capability with adsl via a Thomson Speedtouch 330 USB modem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>First some background, I was sick to death of
Microsoft continually telling me there was a problem and had to shut down my
internet connection, I made some tentative enquiries about Linux and eventually
purchaced SUSE 9.1. This worked well on my dial up access and after a three
month "Try Before Commiting" period, I took the big jump and transfered my
working files to Linux (THANK GOD I KEPT COPPIES AND BACKUPS FOR WINDOWS), the
next part is not the fault of SUSE, my major customer (I am self employed,
working from home), gave me an ultimatum, GET BROADBAND or A NEW JOB,
<STRONG><U>I got broadband</U></STRONG>. Suse refuses to work with my modem.
Been all over the web and SUSE help places, big joke. "One SUSE expert" told me
that Yast Online Update would solve my problem !? another pointed me to the
Novel "Pay a lot of money for help web site. It cost me around £600 and a lot of
time to have my files reinstated to Windows and since the XP SP2 has
arrived I have had very few problems. I still hate Bill Gates and his money
grabbing cronies but is there any point in continuing with Linux. Please
dont use the easy answer of "Get another modem" as that simply defeats the
purpose of using an alternative operating system.</FONT></DIV>
