Re: [newbie] I can't detect my modem - Attention Charles A Edwards
5$2f301aa0$76833dd0@quantex Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Craig Sorry for the flare up. The humor just hit me wrong when I read it. Denis replyed to another post that recalled something I had forgotten. Did you set up any kind of network during or after your Mandrake installation. This can cause the behavior we are seeing with your modem Also have you used anything other than kppp to set-up your connection if so it may also be causing a problem. Since we have done what should work but dosn't we now enter the realm of trial, error, and hope. Charles Charles, When doing the Mandrake 7.1 install I answered NO when it wanted to set up local network. No network after either. KPPP is the only thing I have tried to connect with. Thanks Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [newbie] The dish net work going isp
Hugh, Read more about it herehttp://www.gilat2home.com/index.html Available through Dish Network and Radio Shack. Craig [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hugh wrote: I had my system upgraded I use the Dish Network which has one of those tiny dish setups. Well the gentleman and I were talking about computers and he mentioned that they are going to add Internet service to there lineup. Now the thing is it's two way via the satt. so there wont be a need to use a phone line to dialin. I called there main office and they said it should be on-line sometime in Nov. or Dec. It's only ten times as fast as dialin but would only cost about $20.00. Just thought I would mention this. Sounds like the solution for me as ADSL isnt in my area yet. PS The gentleman said I could stop by there shop and test it out :) Now if only I can set my box up to use it LOL
