<DIV>> 5. Thanks also for the cautionary advice re: dial-up modem on Linux.
I did some research earlier, but of course the proof will be in the actual
attempt to use the modem :) I do plan to upgrade to a faster (and dedicated)
Internet link !! Just wanted to try first with the dial-up modem. Trying to
simplify my life by postponing the networking upgrade. And also out of plain
perverse curiosity, more than anything else.<BR><BR>Nothing could simplify

<DIV>Probably true that dial-up under Linux will be fiddly as heck ... But
if I give up on dial-up under debian Linux without a fight, then I won't be the
same rabidly independent Windows XP "orphan" outlier, migrating to Linux instead
of Windows 10 ...</DIV>
