Do you know how > to set up the Cisco 678 with that info from Linux? You use Minicom to talk to the modem over a serial line (they include the cable you need, and so will I if anyone takes me up on my offer!) and you just tell it your username and passwod. It remembers them after that and you never have to put them in again. > Or should I set it up from Windows (I've got a dual boot system), and > then just use it from Linux? Use Winders if you call tech support, since the people who work there will soil themselves if you say anything other than "Windows" or "Mac". Of course, you can usually "translate" what they tell you do in Windows to Linux commands. Dan -- lemon | Dan Drake + gecko | drake at lemongecko.org ----- | http://lemongecko.org/drake ?! |
