It may be. But she got this computer for free, and she is not
investing any money in hardware. If she needs new hardware to run
Linux, then she will be content running her virus and spyware infested

hardware.

If you have a link that shows how to access the web-based control
panel on that modem, and to set the dialup info in the modem itself,

such features, however, this modem does not seem to have such a
feature.
