A couple of years ago, I bought a "LAN modem" (dialup router, really) for my parents. It's an external box with a handful of idiot lights, a phone jack...and a couple of network jacks to connect to your computers (or a LAN). Given how much of a pain in the *ss getting dial-up connections to work on Linux can be (especially compared to setting up a LAN connection), this could be the way to go. (What I bought was the Actiontec Dual PC Modem: http://www.actiontec.com/products/broadband/dual_pcmodem/index.php I paid $70 for it at Fry's. Froogle lists prices down to about $55 for it.) _/_ / v \ Scott Alfter (IIGS( http://alfter.us/ Top-posting! \_^_/ rm -rf /bin/laden >What's the most annoying thing on Usenet? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDWVqlVgTKos01OwkRAp61AJ9zmmutfXA/3QdWrNlUjTOEElUssACgw+ND kpl32K82WQmfwgnNmPsnSyM= =Ayop -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
