Richard,
This what I did
Ring Optus order cable, say you have a Win95 machine (ie lie)
When the tech comes over say the machine is off to the "repaired" and to
leave the ethernet (i asked for a usb one so maybe he felt comfortable
with that) card and cdrom. He may not want to do it but be persistant.
He he really doesn't want to do it just come clean, most techs are nice
guys, it's just those anal customer service people you have watch out
for.
Then when he's gone whip out the pc out of the cupboard and away you
go..
Now as to getting optus@home running on redhat, here's a gem for you:
ready for it ....
