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

Thanks again, Scott. I had read something of Hal Burgiss' before, but it wan't specific to BellSouth. Once I get my big box up again, I'll print both of these (can't print from the portable (or from Linux) to my LaserJet 3100, and hate to print this much on the BJC-80, which, however, works with both the portable and Linux).

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.
