i can't seem to find anything on that model. maybe someone else would know, just don't give up on linux. i used to use a usb phoneline networking solutino for years. but i would try to get somesort of dsl router, or get an external dsl modem, and use ethernet. just remeber to have phun.

well, i know that for the refresh rate, youll have to use a bit of XFREE86 magic, not that bad though, considering i have overclocked my monitor/*its only supposed to go to 1600x1200@60hertz, and i can take it all the way up to 1600x1200@70hertz. just go get manuel to your monitro withc lists the minumun and m freqs for it

then goto the XF86Config file in /etc/X11

and find a section called
section "Moniter"
or something like that

then there should be a place called
HorizSync  

fill that in with the min and max horiz sync of your monitor

like this
HorizSync   30-86

and then there should be another place right below it called

VertRefresh

set it up in the same way

like this
VertRefresh 50-150

and restart the xserver by hiting ctr-alt-backspace/*not delete*/

if it doesn't defualt to some uber high res, then open the xfree86config file up agian and goto the
place titled

Section "screens"

and all the resolutions that your monitor supports like this

Subsection "Display"
           Depth       24
                Modes      "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" "320x280"
EndSubsectino


no there are probably some stuff already there but you get the idea, if you need more to work with, ill post my whole XF86Config file. also the file might be called XF86Config-4

have phun

One thing I GOT to try is Super Nintendo emulation on Linux(getting emulators right now). Not only do you have shitloads of games to play, but it's possible Linux could outperform dos(crossing my fingers) because dos was shitty to begin with(and dos already outperforms wind0ze).

o, for my howto, you have to be the root user to edit that file

Ok well I called tech support, they said it should be possible to use the modem under Linux. However, they don't do Linux tech support.  

They mentioned I don't have to re-register, just renew the IP. Hmmmm.....

I think one thing im learning is that modems are the pickiest hardware out there, and I need to write down a bunch of things from windows.
