The machine is running CentOS-5.6 .
The modem is running fine, but my speed has not been improved threefold,
as promised.
In fact the speed is identical to the previous modem, as far as I can tell.
I find a Windows dual-boot quite useful on many occasions,
eg if some card or other device does not work under Linux it is worth seeing
if it works under Windows.
Also, if I have to call my ISP (I did once, when the line outside
was damaged in a storm), it is more or less obligatory to be running Windows
during the visit.
I've been running Unix for 30 years, having graduated to Linux from Minix.
I guess my philosophy is closer to Linus Torvalds than Richard Stallman.
