hi jude, i did some research with the company that i have in my ariea i amwith sbc dsl now, everything that i am reading says that it willwork in linux pretty frightning about verison, i wonder if going through the windows setup again would help you might also want to search on google to see if there is a cdless web site that you can register from, sbc has a site that does not require the cd to register a new account i hope that you did not have to sign a contract with verison, sounds like a bad situation for sure. hope things work out with it. drandy On Thu, 29 Sep 2005, Jude DaShiell wrote: > When I had dsl installed and was using it with Linux, I first used Windows to > do the installation.
