Anyone had any encounters of this type ? Did I just accidentaly get shifted off to some Space aliens from Jupiter's Moons ? Or am I just too blonde and too medicated ( nothing good ... just antibiotics <sigh>) to understand the "big Picture" here??
I got the same line of bull from a Pac Bell service rep for my DSL line. When DSL became available at my new place, I went through the online ordering page to select self-install, no software, and no hardware. I got an email saying that I needed to call a service rep since my order was abnormal. I simply told them to turn the DSL on and I'll hook up my linux box to get it working. I then got the lecture that Linux doesn't work, blah, blah, blah. I told them that it ran fine on Linux for six months at my old place. Eventually, after 15 minutes of haggling over software and equipment that I didn't need or want to buy, I got a date for the technician to hook up the line. Fortunately, they did send out a self-install kit since I wasn't aware that SBC (the owner of Pac Bell) had switched the network over to a different configuration. Christopher Reimer
