Hi I have a problem thats sort of tricky, I have a couple of websites up on a dial up ISP I used to use (freeola), the service is great, unlimited webspace and all that, but the only hitch is you must be connected to the net through them or the FTP dosent work, and you cant get access.
I now have a ADSL with another company (giointernet), and after lot's of fiddeling I got it working under linux, everything is set up and everything works.
The problem is how can I set up my computer so I can use a dial up when I need to upload files to these websites without knocking out all the setup I did for my DSL?
It's not a major problem, I can always take a windows laptop home from work and use that, but it would be nice to be able use my own PC.
I would have to install modem drivers, but I know that the modem dose work under linux cause I used it on my previouse Mandrake installation (now running Debian)
Basically what I want to know is can I go about getting my modem running and set up a dial up account without losing my current settings?
Hope this made some sense
Thanks in advance
