[aclug-L] Re: Need help on DSL conection under Linux

["Clint A. Brubakken" <cabrubak@xxxxxxx>]

I haven't tried it myself yet, but I was looking through the dsl
newsgroup, and found that EnterNet the company that makes the software
they give Windows users, makes a version for Linux, but you have to go
through swbell to get it. 

I saw one instance in the newsgroup of a user that got it to work with
redhat 6.1

You might want to post this to the swbell.dsl newsgroup. (I seem to keep
redirecting you, sorry but I'm not able to help)
