tinyurl.com/3k9ds,
that SBC said to use to activate the account but, was only able to fill in
about 4 pages of info
forms before the next button quit working. On another attempt to activate the
account, SBC said
to go to www.sbc.yahoo.com/download and download the SBC dialup startup
disc(windows and
mac only) to activate the account and did so hoping to read the disc info to
discover a way to activate the
account. I got a message saying that my browzer didn't support
downloading(first time ever even
for a windows program). SBC is no help, not supporting Linux. I'm hoping
someone out there is using
SBC dialup and knows the solution to my problem. Any help appreciated. Please
copy my email address
as I'm not subscribed. Thanks for your help,
Annoying, huh? I had to use IE to be able to signup with SBC. There
was no around it. You may want to consider Opera, whcih at least runs
on Debian, as it is much more gracious about handling the garbage that
IE will accept.

Gracias Roberto,
Annoying, Yes, but that's what we get for being smarter. Thanks, you
provided a workaround solutiom
for me. And thanks for the Opera tip. I'll try it. First time ever,
however, that I couldn't download any
OS file with Mozilla.
Thanks Again,
Leonard
