Is this list high volume

[Leon Goldstein]

I'm still here.  Sending this from a 10-year old HP Pavilion laptop I 
was given.
I installed OpenSuSE Leap 42.1 and had a great deal of difficulty 
getting a dial up connection, since SuSE dropped dial-up support after 
13.1.  I could dial out, but only as root using wvdial.

I then installed OpenSuSE 13.1 which has qinternet.  The laptop has no 
RS232 serial port, so I hooked my old USR modem via a USB to serial 
adapter cable.  YAST found the modem - /dev/ttyUSB0 - and the 
configuration works better - faster load time - than other computers 
with a serial cable.

I was also given a Netgear WNDR4500 wireless router.  I had to do a lot 
of plowing of the SuSE forums to find the necessary firmware, and I am 
still trying to get wireless to work.  Looks like another long project.
All I want to do with this is connect with a wireless-capable HP 
printer-scanner.


Good to hear from you guys again!
