I'll phone the blokes,first thing! Lots of people are with~shudder~Tiscali,and Freeserve,here. There must be at least 31 in St.Austell with OneTel,looking at the client I.P. pool. Would be helpful if everyone posted indications as to which modems their ISPs are supplying. ISPs that actually *support* Linux,though-interesting question.OneTel definately don't.There again,they supply Speedtouch devices.
Cmr: I'm having trouble logging on today. Tech: OK what version of Windows do you have? Cmr: I'm running Linux.. Debian. Tech: I'm sorry we do not support Linux. *end call*
Welsh ISPs must be far more technically proficient.Irrespective of the problems you are confronted by,the stock response here is:"Try disabling your firewall".
After you have that info you ought to be able to download the drivers/modules for the specific modems you've identified. It would be wasteful of your time to download a raft of drivers/modules for Linux only to find that the people who turn up are with ISPs that don't support those modems and/or don't have them anyway.
Okey-dokey.I'll get right on it. Sadie -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
