Microsoft Streets - we need the routing capability. Our company uses ADP Payroll which is Windows only (AFAIK) We also have a timeclock on our LAN and the software that polls it that interfaces with ADP is a Windows app. Anyone tried Microsoft Streets under Wine?

The posting of the hacking code is akin to mass producing and distributing keys to a department store. The keys have only one real purpose: to allow a thief to open a locked door to steal the goods he targets.
So who is the real criminal in the above example that Mr. Valenti mentioned? Is it the locksmith that made a key or the thief that used it? (Assuming, of course, that anything was actually stolen!)

Just for grins I checked with Ameritech to see what they are saying. Their ADSL service 'SpeedPath' is currently available in Ann Arbor, Birmingham, Royal Oak, Troy, and other areas around Detroit. It's also available in Wheaton, Illinois.
They are saying no support for Unix or Linux. Mac support is comming. Here is their reply to my inquiry:
Hello John,
Thank you for contacting Ameritech.net!
We currently have no plans to support Linux or Unix with the SpeedPath service. Ameritech.net Customer Service http://www.ameritech.net

I've often wondered if DirecTV didn't already do this. After all, it is already hooked up to the phone for the Pay-per-view crap. It would take to much to watch what I'm watching, even down to the exact moment I change the channel.
Seems like the service should be free for all the marketing information I'm (probably) giving them!

Hi, I'm John. I've purchased a system that had Linux pre-installed on it. I got it from VA.
Now you can say that you know someone that bought a system that had Linux pre-installed on it!
My Grandfather once told me - "Never argue with a fool. Someone else might not know the difference."
So, that's fine Bob. I think you should just use Microsoft products. After all, isn't that what they're paying you for?
