[newbie] Thanks!

[FeralDM]

Thanks everyone who's tried to help me find an ISP provider. I tried to respond to the 2 people who suggested Mindspring. Unfortunately for some bizarre reason, both of my responses were kicked back to me saying I had used a "no no" phrase and therefore the posts would not appear. 

Have no idea what that means and I'm not aware of having written any atrocities. Running a non-profit organization I don't have time to try to worry about every single word I write. I would appreciate more info on using Mindspring from you guys who know about it. If you'd be willing to offer further help, please contact me directly.

Thanks again.

Thanks Doug. AOL doesn't do much for me either but I was hoping to at least 
get internet access using it for the time being. I've tried to find something 
about AOL for Linux and couldn't. Seems I'm pretty limited in my area as to 
what's available so I guess I'll be stuck using Windows-AOL for a while 
longer to get online.

Not having much luck. I could only find one ISP called Talarion Dialup for 
$12 a month. Unfortunately I live just outside a big city in Florida which is 
still behind the times. Sucks cause I'm from NYC and still not adjusted to 
the boonies.

I haven't been able to find another ISP with an access number neaby. 
Roadrunner etc. is not available either. Argh. Does anyone have experience 
with Talarion?

[newbie] Can't Connect To Internet

[FeralDM]

I am a struggling newbie trying to teach myself Mandrake 7.1. I am unable to 
get connected to the internet. I am probably still in Windows mode. I've been 
using AOL as my ISP. Now that I've installed Mandrake, configured my modem 
etc., can I still use AOL? I'm assuming not because I keep getting an error 
telling me there is no file to open the AOL program. So do what app do I use 
to get back online? Do I need to change service providers?

Please forgive how stupid I must sound. Greatly appreciate any help from 
"teachers" out there as I am serious about learning.

Thank you!
