I am a _real_ new Linux user. I left microsoft's W95b for Mandrake 8.1.
I've managed to get the dial-up working but can't figure out how to get
back onto my one-way cable service. Charter.net (Charter Pipeline) is
the ISP. They won't support Linux unless it's a commercial account.
The modem is a COM21 and a Link Sys NIC. The uplink is a 56K external.
The only difference in what is sent to Charter is the user id. Cable
service does not have a "d" suffix. If you need any other information
about my system just email directly to me.
I need step by step instructions.
If you can help directly or can refer me to a URL for said help I'd be
much appreciated.
Thank you, Doug Siddens
