It is surprising that after all of these years someone would have figured out a
fix for it, but then again the majority of people now have highspeed so I guess
I am out of luck there. If I ever do happen to have a few extra pennies I might
look into buying a external modem, and give it a try. I can always return it if
it doesn't work out I suppose.
I would really like to have Windows 7, and Linux installed so I can have the
best of both worlds.
Cheers.
