Just installed Ubuntu, what now ?

[Adam Lafayette]

I have no experience with ISDN but I found this page

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IsdnHowto?action=show&redirect=IsdnHowtoHoary

on setting up ISDN in ubuntu.  If you can get internet
working on your ubuntu box installing software is so
easy when you have a network connection.

You can also try connecting through a windows machine
if that machine is setup with internet sharing if
you've got the hardware to network the computers
together as was suggested in an earlier reply by
someone.  I might be able to give you some help with
this.  I did that type of things a few years ago but I
was running redhat instead of ubuntu.  If you want the
help with the windows box let me know and I'll see
what I can do.
