I am using an up-to-date install of Squeeze. There were several network

this was an activation for Debian. Since then, certain wire

Why is it so difficult to get dialup to work in Linux? It has been this way for
many years, too. I tried a different distro in 1996 when dialup modems were
still the main means of Internet access for most home users, and it was
painfully difficult then, as well.
