<DIV>I have just been introduced to UBUNTU 7.04 by installing from the CD from
ComputerActive magazine, and have successfully installed as a dual boot
alongside my Windows XP O/S.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Great - impressed! So far so good - but internet connectivity aludes me
(I'm submitting this email, reluctantly, from my Window/AOL email
account.)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My AOL connectivity is via broadband, using a BT Voyager 105 ADSL Modem,
which connects to a USB port on my Fujitsu Siemens desktop PC.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In UBUNTU my network setting panel detects a Modem connection and advises
me it is not configured. I do not want to rely upon a slow dialup modem, that
would be a retrograde step.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>How do I achieve broadband connectivity using my existing ISP and ADSL
modem?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I appreciate using a USB-connected modem is less than ideal - but I want to
not only dual boot Operating Systems, but also internet connectivity from both
environments, preferably using the same ISP/broadband setup. Is this possible -
or are AOL so restrictive that I wil not be able to use their broadband service
except through their Windows XP AOL9.0 software?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks in advance!</DIV>
