I would like to give thanks to those who offered suggestions as to necessary configuration/setup for DSL service under Linux-Mandrake, Civilme ,Vincent Danen Jean-Michelt Dault. Thank you for your advise and direction. I have found that initially to setup infospeed dsl service acount with bellatlantic.net as the service provider requires that you be running a version of Windows95,98,NT,or the MAC OS, I will need to dig up some install CD's and put Windows on my clients system in order to initiate the services with bellatlantic.net. Once that is accomplished it appears as though the setup In Linux should be quite easy, I hope any way. Thank's once again for the advise. I would also like to acknowledge the Great efforts of the Mandrake developers in providing a very nice version of 7.1 (Helium) I have installed it now on six different systems 2 of which were fresh installs and 4 that were upgrades, including my own system and all seems to be working very well. Thank's for all your effort's, Great Job ! Dave David M. Kufta Konsult Ltd. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
