No It is not free (about $300NZD a month). They would not give me any
information on the modem. All I got told was that the data gets sent down
the phone line and returnning data comes back via satellite. The hardware
alone is going to cost me $1100.00 + sales tax(%12.5)NZD. All the other isp
wanted to charge me over $1000.00 a month + hardware on top.

If your ISP is "free" they probably want to run an ActiveX application with ads while you're connected. But it's not a driver...
If you signed up for a DSL connection, then DSL modem is just an external device that connects to your Ethernet card. They may refuse to _support_ you, but there's no reason for the DSL modem not to work. And again there's no driver in the picture.
The bottom line, what exactly is your/ISP's problem?

is it possible to run NT4 as the Inertnet connection and server for the other 5 computers (windoze98) and have suse 6.4 as the web server and mail server. As I am sort of new to in house networking are there any recomened books and howtos I should read.

Wow! What's the conversion rate between NZD and USD? How can you justify the expense of that type of internet connection? -- __ _ / / (_)__ __ ____ __ / /__/ / _ \/ // /\ \/ / Jerry L Kreps /____/_/_//_/\_,_/ /_/\_\ -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
