The problem with satellite broadband is that it still requires a land line
for up connections. You won't be operating any services
It won't. You need "mx init 3".
Without the init, you just gave lilo a random number, which it cheerfully
ignored.

The slocate databse by default includes all the files from all the

You have to run (as root) updatedb to initialise this database and

If the client is expecting an anonymous login, this RPM may be

You ought to know that any hardware device failure, pretty much, claims

You should probably verify that you have the right device.

I am currently using Debian/GNU-Linux and may switch to

If that's the internal modem that Dell ships, it's a WinModem.
The DeskPorte Fast 100 combo card, for one, works well. Haven't tried
