I've just spent EIGHT FUCKING HOURS trying to get this piece of shit laptop to dial up fucking Earthlink. "wvdial" JUST FUCKING DOESN'T WORK.
Is there ANYONE on earth who thinks Linux is ready for the average person???
It takes 5 seconds to set this up under Windows.
Sorry, mod me down as off-topic, but I felt I had to get this off my chest. It's 4:38pm as I type this, and I have someone leaving on a plane for a demo tomorrow at 7am. "Yeah, just gotta set up the modem and you'll be all set! Well, no, I haven't done that before under Linux, but it's menu driven nowadays. How hard can it be?"
Yes, I've tried a) multiple modems, b) multiple ISPs (for GODS sake), multiple FUCKING everything.
Excuse me while I try and figure how to set up an old-school chat script.
