[17:29] howdy SkippyX [17:29] i'm working on docs now, so i'm kind of busy, but did you need help w/ something? [17:29] i can help if it's not too complex. :) [17:29] Sort of. I'm afraid it seems a bit complex to me. Might not to you (I hope). [17:29] Thanks for the offer. [17:29] Hullo, btw! [17:30] SkippyX: Hullo :) [17:30] well, feel free to ask your question, and I'll see if I can answer, or . . . maybe someone else will be around [17:30] Here's my circumstance. My father lives down 4 miles of dirt road in the middle of a national forest. His only internet option is dial-up. [17:30] He has 3 computers - 2 laptops and a desktop. [17:30] ok [17:31] He would like to be able to sit in his rocking chair with his laptop and connect w/out stringing wires. [17:31] So, I thought "no big deal. do a dial-up server/router sort of thing". [17:31] Hm, well, it's not really a question for the doc team, but I can tell you that he would need a router... [17:32] and i don't think there are any wireless routers that connect to dial-up services [17:32] at least none that i know of [17:32] True. [17:32] None I know of either. [17:32] So, I was thinking of a pc/dial-up server/router mashup [17:33] I posted in the forums, and someone said there was some documentation to be found in the docs, but I can't seem to find it. [17:33] I was hoping someone in here might be able to point me in the right direction. [17:33] hmm... if it exists, it would be in the community wiki [17:33] k - let me go check the wiki. [17:33] https://help.ubuntu.com/community [17:34] thank you. [17:34] Actually, I'm surprised this isn't a relatively common thing. It's my understanding that dial-up is still widely used. [17:35] this page looks like it may be a good place to check: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkDevices [17:35] i have to go, but best of luck. [17:36] Ok - Thank you again for your help! [17:38] you're welcome. :) === nhandler_ is now known as nhandler === Saj0577 is now known as Saj_brb === Akos is now known as Go === Go is now known as Akos
