Macintosh Modem?
« on: July 18, 2005, 12:22:47 am »
Ok, so I have an iMac (Not the new flatscreen one, the "generation" older), with Ubuntu PPC Linux installed on it. The modem.. well I havent a clue how to set it up. Anyone done this and want to write a walkthrough?
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

I'm pretty sure that "ppp" is what you need:

ppp: The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) provides a method for transmitting

See if you can find an Ubuntu version?
