Although I have not always found them to be people friendly, Voicenet has become more
Linux friendly and  posted quite a bit of information on using Linux .   Having just
set up Dial-up networking on my wife's NT laptop it seems to me that it is easier to
set it up on Linux.   How hard could it be to support.  I got it working easily and
I am not that far removed from being a Windows weenie.
