Re:Installing Debian Linux 2.0 (1998) by matttproud on Tuesday August 27, 2019 @02:36AM (#20806839)
Truth. The saving grace to achieve further progress when stuck in PPP/modem hell was discovering WvDial on Debian. Quite literally cut out all of the noise.

I recall the one of the early Linux distributions I tried had a funky X Server of sorts. I think it was Metro-X or similar to this: https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/2299 Bask in the beauty of those xlib/Motif widgets. This was an absolute saviour until I got a more "normal" video card.

And Winmodems! You're taking me back, man.
