That's a very good idea but does Verizon support Unix/Linux;
anything other than M$?? We'll see.. Ringing their help desk was a
disaster several times; my marginal hearing plus accents I'm not used
to.. They tried very hard to help but we just didn't click.. The mere
press this, press that for half an hour before a live person doesn't
help... Welcome to progress, eh??
<snip>
it's all moot anyway... Verizon wants one to run WinXP period..
---------------------------------------------------------------
It does not matter what Verizon wants, it is what the equipment wants.
PPPOE?
Two parts:
(1) ?Verizon does not support Linux.
(2) Neither does the equipment nor the internet!
The equipment supports a protocol, perhaps PPPOE.
Linux supports PPPOE.
The internet does not care how you obtain access, only
that your equipment is addressing the packets correctly;
TCP/UDP/IP... ;-)
HTH, Chuck
