Re: Re: [Nolug] [nolug] adsl installatio

Thanks, Scott, for the reference. The addendum for Alcatel is more up-to-date that the one I got before, so as soon as I get a new floppy drive installed (just so I can boot the system again) I'll give it a try. I am reduced to using the dreaded notebook computer until I get the big one up again!

I spoke too soon. Here is a DSL HOWTO that his appendix information about
a speedtouch DSL USB modem that has linux drivers for it.

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/DSL-HOWTO.html

If no one else locally with a similar connection pipes up, this HOWTO
may get you up and running.

I programmed MS Access for several years in the Silicon Valley and have moved my personal databases to Delphi and have a copy of Kylix to migrate to when I get the ADSL up under Linux and get either PostgreSQL or MySQL to work for me. At any rate, whatever will let me most easily connect a single machine thru FastAccess is what I'm looking for. I have the SpeedTouch USB modem (external) supplied by BellSouth.
