adsl connection

[gilles fourchet]

Hi Keith,

I did try with 3 different OSes (Debian, Win 2000, and
Win XP) on 3 different machines.  Same result.

With respect to the line, I understand that Bell
screwed up your line.  In my case, it is perhaps the
case but they did come last Friday to test everything
inside the house (included the connection from the LAN
cable attached to the modem) and they claimed that
everything was fine.

So I am pretty sure it is outside the house (or I am
really not lucky and my 3 machines with my 3 OSes are
all faulty).  I called the EOL support to explain them
everything I did and the call lasted 30 secondes: "Sir
either you want me to reopen the ticket to Bell or you
call tomorrow the Sales to get reimbursed."  Nice way
to do support.

Anyway, I guess that the only solution for me is to
return to this ... provider of Rogers.
