ISA and external modems are more probably real modems, but not all of them.
If you want to make sure wether a modem is or not a winmodem, visit http://start.at/modem.

Then use your modem to connect to your ISP and you're on the net. (on SuSE, with wvdial)

NOTE: Those strange and abnormal online services like aol are NOT ISPs. You cannot connect the
internet with aol. You can't hack with aol. i don't like aol. aol sucks.
Don't worry, we humans are not perfect, and it's probably not your fault. If that is your case,
leave aol and get a real ISP. Then you'll be forgiven.


                                                                
Don't get busted
                            
Let's  suppose you haven't skipped everything below and your Linux bow is now connected to the net.

It's now turn for the STEALTH. You won't get busted! just follow my advices and you'll be safe.

- Don't hack
this is the most effective stealth technique. not even the FBI can bust you. :-)
If you choose this option, stop reading now, cause the rest is worthless and futile.

- If you change a webpage, DON'T SIGN! not even with a fake name. they can trace you, find
your own website oe email address, find your ISP, your phone number, your home...
and you get busted!!

- be PARANOID, don't talk about hacking to anyone unless he is really interested in hacking too.
NEVER tell others you've hacked a box.

- NEVER hack directly from your box (your_box --> victim's box).
Always use a third box in the middle (your_box --> lame_box --> victim's box).

Where lame_box is a previously hacked box or...a shell account box!
A shell account is a service where you get control of a box WITHOUT hacking it.
There are a few places where shell accounts are given for free. One of them is nether.net.

- Don't hack dangerous boxes until you're a real hacker.
Which boxes are dangerous:
Military boxes
Government boxes
Important and powerful companies' boxes
Security companies' boxes
Which boxes are NOT dangerous:
Educational boxes (any .edu domain)
Little companies' boxes
Japanese boxes

- Always connect to the internet through a free and anonymous ISP
(did i tell you that AOL is NOT an ISP?)

- Use phreking techniques to redirect calls and use others' lines for your ISP call.
Then it'll be really difficult to trace you. This is not a guide to phreaking anyway.

You want to hack internet boxes ?? So lets connect to the
internet.

Yes, i know you've gotten this document from the internet,
but that was with windoze
and it was much easier. Now you're another person,
someone who screams for knowledge and wisdom.
You're a Linux user, and you gotta open your way to the
Internet.

You gotta make your Linux box to connect to the net,
so go and set up your modem (using YaST2 in SuSE).

                            Common problems:

If your box doesn't detect any modems, that probably
means that you have no modem installed
:-D (not a joke!).

Most PCI modems are NOT modems, but "winmodems".
Winmodems, like all winhardware, are
specifically designed to work ONLY on windoze. Don't blame
linux, this happens because the
winmodem has not a critical chip that makes it work. It works
on windoze cause the vendor
driver emulates that missing chip. And hat vendor driver is
only available for windoze.
