Ok Stan, thanks for the broader understanding. I like to keep apps within the machine, especially if one needs an internet connection to use it. Living on dialup I really notice the difference between a 9k connection and a 28k, which is the fastest I ever see. At 9 some things never load...

Stan, I was just looking for info on how to determine what speed I'm at on dialup with Linux, and saw this post. My brain must not have been ready to integrate the info. Thanks for the reply, and I'll update you on this element. I've been connecting with wvdial through the terminal, and it is...

Hiya Wizard, good to hear from you. I live in an oak forest, so satellite isn't functional. I will hit hispeed when I visit folks, until they get out to the woods with some hardwire I hope. I'm glad I finally clicked on your 'spoiler' on the 'apt get' page. So much to learn. KGIII, thanks...

Hiya Everyone, Everything is working connecting dialup via terminal and wvdial. I haven't succeeded in getting a GUI installed. As you've said, it seems undoable, and I don't want to break anything since it is working. Thank you all for getting me up and running. It has been a 3yr. journey...

Ok guys, thanks for the input. I'm exploring the files. There is an install file which has more specific info similar to what your shared kc1di. It may be an impossible goal, with Mint. I'll let you know how it goes.

Thanks for the suggestion. Read Me file had no installation direction. I'll continue to see what i can find about tar.gz file installation.

The question is how to install a tar.gz file.

Hello Friends. New agenda. Still trying for a front end GUI for wvdial. I have GTK zip downloaded. I just don't know the terminal code to get it installed. Where should I unzip it? How do I get it installed from there? As alays you all are greatly appreciated.

Ladies and Gentlemen, We Have Perfection! At least as far as I know. I'll be working on speeding things up, and I'm sure there are tweaks to sample, yet I've got things organized, and I think 'apt-get' is accessible, just no front end for wvdial yet. Ill have to start a new thread when I...

I'm in Nirvana!!! We have liftoff, the Linux Machine is in a perfect state with all systems functioning. At least as far as I'm currently aware. The answer to the missing minimized windows was solved by an applet. In editing the panel the applets 'Window List' and 'Windows Quick List'...

Yes a title change is ok with me. Yes I was assuming [which we never should do] that windows OS would be assumed. I put XP on VBox as that is the only disk I have. The astrology program is installed in XP on VBox. Since it seems the issue with window minimization only began after that...

Stan, correct a new instance is opened if I hit the icon in the left panel. The intended minimized window to center panel is only accessed through using Alt + Tab. I've checked it several times, on several workspaces, with several apps.

I'm re-reading all pages involving dialup and fixing these issues I have. Just saw the one Lord Bolton about installing the libraries. Man that really did something. Still don't have a front end installed yet I can take this home and work on it as they're going to kick me off soon. Just...

Stan, no faint line and things still disappear.
