From what i've heard from an ex-reliance employee is that they make a good effort to ensure that linux users can easily use their services. Why?? i wouldn't know.
Rubbish. They took pppconfig (afair) and modified it to install /etc/chatscripts/reliance and would not release the code or even say 'reliance' was the only file required. Never mind that u could just copy at+CRM=1;$LGPKT=3 to any dialers conf file and make it work.
And did any other ISP do even this much for linux users? I never claimed they wrote something from scratch.
IF they wanted compatability they would have just documented the 2 lines. And btw that too happened cause a very large potential customer wanted to run linux. They were at the time running M$ pptp on the backend, with some insane configuration.
And did you bother to document the workaround / solution and share it with others?
Check the list archives.
Proof will be enough to shut me up.. i have no love of reliance, but i think the are doing a decent job OR at least tried doing one
They werent. But except for the closed pppconfig (which they later opened) it was atleast not deliberate.
can we EOT this?? we have a new enthusiastic user to help.
yessir ;-)
