Have Xandros LINUX installed with Windows & MSN9 with boot mgr. Cannot figure out how to configure the dialer in Xandros to work thru MSN 9. So many variables that guessing will never get it. Hoping that someone there has expierence with this and can tell me how to do it. Windows and Linux are on separate partitions. Any help appreciated greatly! DEDIs your modem recognized correctly. Can you get on with PPP?Yes, the linux program recoginzes the modem and ppp would not do what needs to be done. The program dialer in Xandros dialer needs to be configured to work with the MSN 9 dialer and also the msn dialer will probably have to be configured some also. There is so many variables in each that the chance of hitting the RIGHT combination in both is about the same as WINNING the lottery. The Co Xandros answers my questions about this ina "get Rid of Him" kind of way that is no help at all. Somethimes I think they are afraid of Microsoft and won't tell how to do this. Anyway, thought someone there might have had expierence with it and could help. Xandros was a $100.00 program and looks real good but must connect to the internet to completely finish installing it. Guess this will be another "You Got Hooked" kind of thing and will END up throwing Xandros in the garbage can. Thanks for trying! DEDThe problem may be with the front end of MSN. I don't know if it is a direct internet connection or if you have to use their software - like AOL, Yahoo, and many more. If that is the case, you may never get it to work. I believe Linspire now has AOL dialer and some more as well.

In the end why would Microsoft (MSN) want to be compatible with Linux? Can't think of one reason from their perspective.
