1) The Bellsouth Tech's I've dealt with don't know how
to spell Linux.. :-) I usually boot my machine to
Win2k (the only reason I still have it) and hook it
directly to the modem before I call the support folks.
:-)
2) Are you sure about the port 80 blocking? (for BLS
DSL) I've got standard residential service and my port
80 isn't blocked. I don't know about 25, I'm not
running a mail server.
l8r,
Christopher.
