I installed Kubuntu and it looks like it's going to be a good system but, I have not been able to connect to the internet with my dial-up. I took my pc to my ISP and the two best technicians spent two hours on it and they could not get it hooked up! I live in the western US is this a typical problem ? or am I missing something? Any help would be most appreciated!

Re: dial-up
what sort of modem do you have? if you get an external modem, it is pretty much guaranteed to work with linux.
what is the output from lspci? -

Re: dial-up
Thank you crazy, exactly the answer I was looking for! And thank you psb 154 for making me aware of the kind of info I need to ask a serious question. Your response resulted in my day being spent educating myself on a piece of harware I realy haven't given much thought to,and knew very little about! I guess that is what the spirit of Linux is all about (learning and solving) I have ordered a us robotics unit that should do the trick, I kinda panicked yesterday when the techs couldn't get it done (anxious to take my new os out in the cyberworld ) not sure why they didn't suggest a external modem ,after reading about it thats definitely the way for me to go! Thanks again fellas for pointing me in the right direction!Comment
