In the OP's context, going into "safe mode" so the ISP Help Desk can walk through the approved connection resolution process (Skymesh support have one for Windows and one for Mac, none for Linux)... not the same thing. There's actually 3 "Windows Safe Modes". The one Help Desk wanted the OP to use is a single-user GUI-mode with networking. Debian run level 1 is not an equivalent.
