Using dial-up, it rather depends on whether the ISP requires some

Personally, I use Road Runner broadband on Time/Warner cable. I have
the hideously ugly "shark fin" cable modem feeding a D-Link 614 wireless
router/switch and Linux all the way. Linux works fine even without
the router.
Did you get linux to work with Road Runners dial up service?
I tried a couple of months ago with out success. Did not spend much
time on it though.
I don't use dialup. I use a cable modem, so no, I've not tried it. I'm
sure I could get it to work.
