those small pci cards, that doesn't have a ethernet card in it, and I
will have to use a rj45/USB ethernet adapter, does Verizon DSL modems
have output ports for rj45 or USB connections.
I have a rj45/USB ethernet adapter that works fine in Fedora.
Thanks Scott, I was just wondering if anyone has a DSL service with
them, but you are right.
FWIW I have DSLExtreme over a Verizon based landline connection. The
modem DSLExtreme uses is nothing more than a modem. You need to plug
Ethernet into the modem. And the network has to recognize your Ethernet
adapter's MAC address. For DSLExtreme that is as simple as playing with
their website at little. For Verizon - who knows what evil lurks
I wonder what the story about FIOS and Linux might be

Raymond I've had my Verizon DSL for about 18 months now and I have to say it's been a far cry from dealing with Charter and their TS team. I'd much prefer my brain being dipped in acid rather deal with Charter ever again. That said, I've not had any problems getting my network working with Verizon. But then, I do this for a living and haven't needed their TS for this. -- Libenter homines id quod volunt credunt -- Caius Julius Caesar Mark Haney Sr. Systems Administrator ERC Broadband (828) 350-2415 Call (866) ERC-7110 for after hours support -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
