[nmglug] dial up

[akaluta at zianet.com]

Good Day to All:
Excitings times around here the Debian and Ubuntu CD's have 
arrived.Temporarily have installedfrom Ubuntu live distribution.
After my linux laptop was stolen,drifted into amateur radio, now trying to 
recall those few things I understood about Linux.The installed distro does 
not seem to do anything with my dial up modem. Anyone have any head-up on 
how to proceed. looked in ls -l /dev found a few things with dial up 
attached. do not find uvdial in programs may be the problem.If that is in 
fact the problem that would lead to the question of how to download from 
vista and load to Ubuntu.
Am I on the right track? assume there is no plug and play, any comments 
please. 

The second topic,will anyone who is planning to be at the Santa Fe meeting 
Thursday be willing to meet and guide me through a dual boot vista/debian 
install.I would be comming from Taos for such a  meeting,so if I could firm 
up an arrangement,I,in exchange,subject to a successful install,would in 
turn,provied a complimentry dinner at Santa Fe's finest baking company,you 
also receive a slap on the back and a hearty handshake. So best regards to 
all be well. Anthony K
