[ale] ISP for windows connections

[Geoffrey]

I've got a connection set up that is currently being accessed by a 
windows 98 box and a linux box.  At the point where you say the line 
gets dropped is where I get entries for mgetty in my log file.  I'm 
looking at the mgetty.log.ttyS1 file under /var/log.  Are you using 
dhcp, chap, or pap for these connects?

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
