[Tfug] qwest/msn

[Ryan Quinn]

I initially installed it on a WinXP box and that never worked right.. 
the installer failed, it couldnt find the modem, etc..

When I plugged it into my RH Box it seemed to work ok.. 

The majority of the problems I had were between the modem and MSN's 
network.  Since the modem is managed via a web interface the OS behind 
it shouldnt have made a difference.  I never did manage to get it to 
work under XP.
