But what really made me possible to connect to the internet using
the modem, was that I finally figured out how to use the slmdm
driver on my toshiba satellite machine. The real secret came
from http://www.columbia.edu/~gk297/toshiba.html
and it is: use the version 2.7.10 (not the latest one). Then, change
a line which is not well configured for toshiba: line 75, of
amrmo_init.c should be:
#define PCI_DEVICE_ID_ICH3 0x24C6
After this change, compile as normal, install, and /dev/modem will work
as if it was real!!! :-)

Connecting to AOL on Linux
Today I made a major achievement in my Linux configuration!
I was able to connect to AOL using my Linux laptop, thanks to
the software of the penggy guys. The version I am using is 0.2.1.
I just had to read the INSTALL file, install it (using the good friend
checkinstall), and put my information as required.
Now I am connecting to AOL by just typing penggy. No M$ windows,
no AOL software, perfect!

Configuring Kdm
I had a problem when trying to upgrade to kde 3.2.3.
The package installed was not working properly, so I needed
to reinstall the old packages. Then, I lost the configuration of
Kdm (this is the problem of a package that can be configured only
as root). The critical piece of data is that kdm can be configured
again using
genkdmconfig --old-xdm /etc/X11/xdm

Finally an account in Gmail!
Finally! After more than 1 month wait I have
my own new gmail account. Of course I will not
disclose the address here, but this is very
exciting.
By the way, did you ever had a web system that
everybody would *envy* and be eager to use? This is
what google has accomplished with its methods for
site advertisement!... Now, I need to be eager only to receive
an invitation for Orkut.... :-))
