5. Thanks also for the cautionary advice re: dial-up modem on Linux. I did some research earlier, but of course the proof will be in the actual attempt to use the modem :) I do plan to upgrade to a faster (and dedicated) Internet link !! Just wanted to try first with the dial-up modem. Trying to simplify my life by postponing the networking upgrade. And also out of plain perverse curiosity, more than anything else.
Nothing could simplify life more than avoiding dial-up. -- Len Sorensen Probably true that dial-up under Linux will be fiddly as heck ... But if I give up on dial-up under debian Linux without a fight, then I won't be the same rabidly independent Windows XP "orphan" outlier, migrating to Linux instead of Windows 10 ...
