By "Bell" do you mean Southwestern Bell? I'm not even going to get started about how much I see red when I hear their advertising, yet I know how little geographic coverage they're actually capable of hooking up DSL to. Free modem and installation indeed...

Pacific Bell (which I think is owned by Southwestern Bell) is in the same boat. My Dad and I tried to order DSL at the same time. He lives in the boondocks of Sacramento County, where he has to wait two weeks to find out *if* DSL is available, and may have to wait an additional *four weeks* to get DSL if he can get DSL. I live near the heart of Silicon Valley and one block from a major telecommunication vault, and it took only three weeks for DSL to be installed. My Dad is a newbie to computers and internet, and so far he has been disappointed with the actual computer and Internet (with a analog modem connection) is not quite the same as what the commericials make it out to be. >:o Christopher Reimer -- 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/
