            You might want to download and burn a "run from the cd" distro of Linux
    to check compatibility with your asdl modem and printer. I would
    suggest that you try knoppix. If knoppix works with your hardware, then
    FC3 will probably work too (or atleast can be made to work).

    Thanks,
