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).
Raymond
Yes , I also am stuck with AT&T and Comcast here in Indianapolis, In,
But southern Indiana, where I'm trying to get a
older lady a Verizon connection. I wished we had them here.
