Brett:
It looks good to me, and I'd say you shouldn't have an major problems. You
don't mention your modem, though. Be sure to check it against the list at
www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. OTOH, if you have a high speed
connection via a NIC card, there shouldn't be any problem. Most Linux
distributions will have a hardware compatibility listing at their website.
Mandrake's (www.linux-mandrake.com) is sorted by distribution, hardware type,
manufacturer and model; I'm sure that Redhat, Suse and others have similar
listings.
Good luck,
Carroll Grigsby
