I had a bad experience with dealing with setting up a Dialup connection with Verizon, once I mention Linux the help desk, a Indian , he drop me like a hot potato, I failed to do so, never in my 100 years of use of Linux was not able to setup a Dialup connection. This computer I'm trying to get on the Internet is a Gateway it uses those small pci cards, that doesn't have a ethernet card in it, and I will have to use a rj45/USB ethernet adapter, does Verizon DSL modems have output ports for rj45 or USB connections.
I have a rj45/USB ethernet  adapter that works fine in Fedora.

Verizon's DSL department seems to be very supportive of Linux and BSD OSes, and the modem I got from them 7 years ago was RJ-45 only. Once you get set up, you may want to join their 0.verizon.linux USENET group for any tweaks or problems using Linux on their service. (I never had any with Fedora though, smooth sailing all the way.)

My problem was with setting up Dialup and handshaking.
What is the http://  for the 0.verizon.linux USENET group.

As far as I know they don't have a web interface, but if you have a USENET reader or use Thunderbird for email you can point it to the news server at news.verizon.net . I'm going to greatly miss Verizon... My wife and I are divorcing, and I've moved to an area in which they have a trivial presence. I'm doomed to a choice between AT&T and Comcast. Due to AT&T's logistics and stupidity, I was forced to go with Comcast or be limited to basic DSL (less than 512k down).
