[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and  ]

I've been using a Linux machine (RH6.2, now RH7.1) for over a year to dial 
to UQ as my ISP using the RH PPP dialer.  I also use the same machine to dial 
into work.  

It does work, quite well I think.  So, I'd encourage you to keep trying.

BTW - I've also used a RH7.1 laptop to dial UQ successfully.
