YAQAD: Yet Another Question About DSL. I really feel guilty, almost dirty, for inflicting this on the list, but...what can I do? I need a fast internet connection. (Of course, carrier pigeons might be faster than my 56k modem.) Anywho, I glanced at Qwest's site and learned that there is yet another promo going on. (These promos suspiciously start five days after the last one ends. I know, because the last promo, with similar deals, ended Mar 31, and this one started April 4. Hmm...) See this site for details: http://www.qwest.com/dsl/learn/promo.html So. Way at the bottom there is a mention of the Intel 3200 USB modem. Now, I know that the Intel 2200 PCI modem should be avoided like a flea-ridden, plague infect rat. However, has anyone heard about the USB version under Linux? The reason I ask is because I am cheap. The Cisco 67x, even at the low, low price of $195, is still a little steep. The USB modem is free. However, what makes me nervous is that the USB modem has the warning: "Will not work with Windows 95, NT4 nor Macintosh operating systems." Now the first two are granted. But Macintosh? Didn't USB first come to the Mac? Little red flashing light warn: "Warning! Proprietary voodoo!" I guess if it's Intel... Second, would anyone care to offer the web page of their favorite DSL ISP? I found Real-Time's, and the deal looks good, but I like shopping around. Third, does anyone second the motion that there should be a FAQ for this group that specifically lists the different options for cable/DSL in the TC area? This is a really popular subject (which is why I feel ashamed for bringing it up again) that perhaps deserves to be addressed in a comprehensive manner. I will now offer up a virgin mouse to the SCSI gods as penitance... :Peter __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
