Verizon DSL Update

How does anyone with an older computer get setup with Verizon DSL? Still no DSL service after a couple of more weeks. Oh well. Turns out that Verizon now claims that it is impossible to get their DSL service if your computer has Windows 95 98. I know that you can get it working. I’ve found plenty of info over on the DSL Reports website.
My Mom got frustrated after her second modem arrived and Verizon could still not help her set it up. Then she gets told that it will never work. She subsequently called off the DSL order and ordered Time Warner Cable internet service. Unfortunately Time Warner talked my Mom into Earthlink instead of RoadRunner internet. Hey you get a whopping 10MB (that’s not a typo) of email storage.
Since the cable internet would cost more than double the DSL I advised my Mom to re-order the DSL, which I will personally install for her on her (my old PC actually) computer with the Windows 95 98 Operating System. Of course now we need to wait several days for “the line to clear” and several more days for the re-order to go through.
I’ll report back once I’ve installed the DSL for her.
