I use SBC too and when I first signed up, the person who took my order freaked when I mentioned Linux. I had to use Roaring Penguin but later the PPPoE kernel module came out so I don't think Roaring Penguin is needed anymore. I now use a DSL router so all I did was plug it in and it worked. The router (Linksys BEFS41-V3) has worked very well for two years and I have only recently started having problems with it. A few days ago there were two brief power outages on the same day and the router forgot all its settings. It never did that after a power outage before, it started up and remembered all settings. The past couple of times I phoned SBC because of problems with the service, they were more accepting of Linux and did not tell me the old story about having to use Microbilly's OS. 8) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
