Hello answer guy. My name is Jonathan. I am a tired windows user

trying to educate myself on the in and outs of open source, and in my case linux. i love the idea and concepts behind it. I've been downloading pages and saveing links. buying books and reading till 3 in the morning like now.

so to my point. First i installed linux along side windows. i need

it ( unfortunatly for school so far). ihope to learn how to work around it. but as you probably know by now, i am quite green. I ve not been able to connect ot the www. Now it comes down to the modem i think. i have a winmodem and i ve recently learned that the y are junk. after reading the essay on them in the gazette, my fears are confirmed. do i truely lose? or is there something i can do? say rewrite something? where can i find more in formation on this or do i just go buy a new modem if i wnat to continue? thanks for your patience. it is late and my eyes are blurry. have a good day. Sincerely Jonathan Rakocy linux Supporter

The answer is still:

Just Buy a REAL Modem!
