Re: [Cooker] DSL question
There has been a misunderstanding. I am NOT asking how to set up my DSL service under Linux. What I'm asking is because of a blurb on the mandrake website. It asked people that had DSL to send their information to Mandrake so DSL provider info could be included in the distributions. What I want to know is if Mandrake has the information for Qwest Megabit services yet, and if they don't- what information do they need. Please don't send any more responses about which modem you use. The second part about developing drivers for the Intel modem was a suggestion to Mandrake to make their distribution more marketable. That way someone with the Intel internal modem would not have to go buy the Cisco modem simply because they want to switch to Mandrake. I already know that if you're using Linux, currently the Cisco modem they offer is the only choice of the modems Qwest offers. (Before someone sends a list of compatible DSL moems/routers, I know there are a bunch more. I'm strictly talking about the models in Qwests special offer).

Do you have the information on Qwest (use to be US West) DSL service in the US? They're selling DSL like hotcakes. It's seven dollars cheaper than a second phone line. There's no activation or installation fees, and they send you the line filters for 4 phones for free so you can use the same line for voice and DSL. There's even more reasons it's going over so big. The DSL service offerred is at 640K. They either give the subscriber an internal Intel PRO/DSL 2100 modem for free or offer a $250 Cisco external DSL modem for $110. If you don't have the information. What do you need? Also, there are no Linux drivers for the Intel DSL modem. Is this because it works under the same principle as a winmodem?
