Hi Andre. It doesn't matter if AOL saya they don't support Linux, you can use your Linux system just fine with their dialup service. Most ISP's will not actively support Linux because they lack the expertise to do so. Its too much extra work for them (for now). Once we get your modem working there are more than enough experts around to get your connection up and running. > Additionally, during the setup the Setup Wizard failed to detect my modem, even >though there is one installed. I ignored the error, but when I tried to complete the >setup it didn't list the United States as one of the connection regions (just German >countries). Anyone know why this is happening? Is there a way to correct this? Please >HEEEEEEEEEEELP! Ok, First of all - what version of redhat are you using? Second what kind of modem do you have, Brand, Model name/number and is it a winmodem (HSP modem) or a regular internal modem or an external modem? Do you remember the text of the error message? You did write it down, didn't you? Well almost nobody does but its very helpful to have the actual text. Hmmm - how many "German" countries are there? The locale settings should be something we can fix post-install. Also - please wrap your text to 72 columns.
