Hi guys,

Complete newbie here. Have obtained dsl (officially) on cd and I can drop it into the cd slot, boot-up and get all working onscreen, EXCEPT I cannot get the dsl to find and use either of my modems.

Question 1) Is this the right place to ask?

Question 2) I'm such a newbie, I have to ask, should I be telling dsl where to find a "driver" a la dos or winblows?

Regards

Mel

Hello,

I saw that roberts was helping you with your modem challenge,
but I wanted to stop by, and send greets and 73 to a fellow ham.

Nice to find you here, Mel ...

Hi there,

Thanks for the greeting. Hold GM6JAG and MM3AIM calls, VHF and HF respectively. Mainly interested in VHF working with just some HF calls as and when, normally on vacation throughout Europe.

Into homebrew (G-QRP and ARCI type projects) and melt solder!

fb on the rundown.

roberts has got me running, at least on surfing using Dillo, so that's fine.

I'm looking at linux purely to get away from winblows and viral stuff, but maybe dsl is the answer, I'm using kind of low end stuff here, both desktop and laptop, being retired after a good few years pro involvement with radio (commercial ticket also), you use what you have eh?

Came out when national utility coy I worked for died the comms side out to an outside contractor, but I did manage to order up a new Marconi 2955 test set with all the bits before the department closed, and this came with me!

Back to dsl! Is there a way to know when you're connected to the ISP, a screen or a marker that "says" connected, like in my current win/dos setup on the bottom taskbar?

Regards
