I'm using a different modem and it likes Centel's modem bank. Now to figure out why the bank doesn't take a USR Sportster modem . . . when everyone else does. I'm going to file a formal complaint with the PSC and the AG about this -- maybe they can change the corporate policy to keep the brains working after they hear the word "LINUX". Maybe a call-in or write-in campaign would be handy? Gary Hildebrand St. Joseph, MO

I have many older computers here gathering dust. perhaps I could fit one up
with a modem etc and win98. To place at your house for the proving the
problem source. After all, it is a direct application of THEIR methodology.
Then if by some absurd Rube Goldberg scheme they *CAN*probe for Win or Lin
on pre-connect at least you could use the winbox as a gateway .

While Slashdotting good ol GTE AFTER assembling proof if they were that
evil/stupid.


Or of course one could Slashdot GTE right now as an example of their being
