Re: Another ADSL Success Story
Hi,
While on the subject, I'd like to relate my own positive experience
with ADSL on Linux. After the technician came and installed the modem,
I thought of installing the service on Windows first. I downloaded the
dialer, but after I installed it, the control panel stopped working.
Installing the dialer on a fresh Windows copy resulted in the same
thing. I gave up and booted Linux; after a few minutes with the HOWTO
I had it up and running with Actcom's guest service. Switching to my
Internet Zahav account proved to be non-obvious because I didn't know
the ISP string, but a phone to their support center revealed that it
is "IInzahav". Perhaps those strings should be in the HOWTO if a
support call is needed to get them.
To this day I haven't figured out how to make it run on Windows
without screwing up the installation, but on Linux it worked from the
first day. Way to go! Thanks to everybody who has made this possible!
