Unplug the cable from the internal NIC, unplug the digital line from the DSL 'modem'. Then use an analog phone filter to hook the digital phone line to the dialup modem (an external serial 56K). IOW, neither dialup or DSL would work if the other was left hooked up at all. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas On Sunday 20 Jul 2003 6:16 pm, Frankie wrote: Try this in /etc/sysconfig/network Add this line: GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 if there is an entry for GATEWAY=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx remove it.

Re: [newbie] broadband screws up dial up
Hi all, Thanks for the thoughts. It sounds pretty reasonable. I am wondering, though, that there should be an easy 'back and forth' between DSL and dial up without having to re-write a config file every time I want one or the other. Anybody have a similar situation that is working? I am running this on a Dell laptop but I don't think that has any bearing. tia, Bill W.
