[NTLUG:Discuss] RE: Discuss digest, Vol 1 #247 - 4 msgs

[Nelson Reid]

Kevin and all,

Currently using RedHat 6.1, Dynamic address.  1st problem Redhat doesn't
accept my Linksys nic, I also use SuSE 6.3 which does, so I can work around
that. Both Redhat and SuSE give me problems with DSL.  I have tried pppoed
with no luck.  Earthlink offers no help what so ever, however I am stuck
with the contract at this point. Any help will definitely be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nelson
