Intel 2200 Qwest DSL Modem??

[George Toft]

Anthem.  I don't know where else, though.  Here's the funny part - 
they charged me $100 for set up.  All he did was change my Win98
from static IP to dhcp open up the browser (Netscape 6), tell me
that Netscape 6 won't work, surfed to his company's site and fill
out the for that said he was here.  I paid $100 for that?  When
you go with Qwest, they got you by the cohones.

So right now I have my laptop firewall running Linux with my Win98 
and my Solaris/SPARC box on the inside, all on 10/100 mbps.

No all Qwest has to do is keep their service running - it's 
been pretty flaky today and yesterday.
