Greetings List Lurkers, I just tried to hook up and older gentleman with one of the charity systems we built from the state surplus stuff. The system boots Ubuntu 6.10 Dapper Drake. The verizon Westell DSL access modem comes up with three lights. The system gets an IP address and a web page comes up. Technically the system is cherry.
Then a Verizon web page appears and tells me that it cannot support this operating system, and when I call their support desk, they tell me that I have to use a Windows client or a Mac client. I thought the Carphone case allowed me choice in my telecommunications options. Why would I want this company to be able to sell this crapy backwards technical system to Fairpoint? What can I do to help this old guy get online?
