I signed up with SBC Yahoo DSL the other day. Today my modem arrived. It came
with a yellow CD that runs only on Windows, not Linux (obviously). There were
no other instructions in the package..... like username, passwords etc.
I bought a Linksys 4-port router.
I believe I know how to set up Slackware 9.1 for DSL (have done research) and
will do so when they activate the line (next week).
Question: Will I need to install this on Windows, use the CD, in order to
activate the account? I sure as hell hope not. But I've read older posts
saying this is necessary!
Will I get more stuff in the (snail) mail?
I called their customer service this evening and spoke to a supervisor who was
clueless. Absolutely clueless. I'm tempted to cancel and call the cable
people. Do I need Windows to get going with SBC?
Thanks for any advice you can give.
