note that cable internet is quite often better then dsl...if at all possible I'd highly recommend you use cable broadband instead of dsl... <div>On 4/16/06, Jimmy Montague <<a href="mailto:rhetoric101@att.net">rhetoric101@att.net</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">Antonio Olivares wrote: > --- Jimmy Montague <<a href="mailto:rhetoric101@att.net">rhetoric101@att.net</a>> wrote: > > >> Antonio Olivares wrote: >> >>> --- Jimmy Montague <<a href="mailto:rhetoric101@att.net"> rhetoric101@att.net</a>> wrote: >>> >>> >>> >>>> I'm baaaaaack! >>>> >>>> Now I've got Fedora bootloader working, I've got >>>> >> a >> >>>> holnuther problem: >>>> FC5 doesn't detect my modem.

Reason being that I got a card from my phone company yesterday. They told me they're offering broadband service now. So I signed up this morning. I get my high-speed modem delivered by UPS on the 19th and service starts on the 20th. So I'm going to hook up through a network card and a DSL modem next Friday. I see no reason, then, to put you (or me) through any more of this pain when, FC5 being the way it is, I may have to ask the list for networking help next week. Thanks for your trouble. I don't want to give you any more trouble.
