I have several brands of Winmodem and I'm not sure which brand is in the computer I'm trying Ubuntu in. All are 56K dialup accessing an ISP. When I tried to set up Red Hat a few years ago, it wouldn't recognize my Winmodem; it said I needed a standard modem which cost about $80

Most major universities that have IT programs generally do offer Ph.D.s. Mine does, and for that matter, would probably offer you a Ph.D. in just about any program they run if you were willing to pay for it. I serious considered getting my Ph.D. until I realized that I would be paying back

The university I attend and also work at from time to time as a research assistant is a big-time (top 50) research university. Grant dollars drive everything, and if you don't produce, you either get trampled or pushed out. Publish or perish! If I was to go after my doctorate I don't think I
