Hello.
I am a UIC undergrad trying to get a dial-in connection to my UIC icarus
account working on my Linux partition.  I have Red Hat Linux 5.2, and
external modem, and an otherwise successful installation.  If you can
come to my apartment, 2 blocks from UIC's Behavior Science Building, and
get the connection working, I am willing to pay.  Here are my
conditions:  write me at sbosca1@yahoo.com and name your price:

1.  I pay flat fee for labor, not by the hour.  I want your fee to get
my connection working up front of which you will get the entire amount
in cash when the connection works and if you can't get it working you
get a "thank you for your time," but no money (I would like to be more
generous, but I am a student also and cannot afford to pay people to
come to my house and tell me..."yup, it doen't work alright"...if you
can prove to me that it is a hardware problem that can't be solved with
the materials on hand, we can negotiate compensation for your time).
2.  Please don't send me to:
http://seva.chicago.il.us/comp/unix/linux/uic_linux.shtml
I can't get his script to work and that is why I am soliciting you guys
off the internet.
3.  Since I am paying from the scarce financial resources of an
undergrad, I ask that you help me document how to get the connection
working so that if I face a disaster, I can get the connection up again.

If this sounds good, please write me at sbosca1@yahoo.com with your
price so we can get this taken care of.  I am a 10 minute walk from
campus and the labor should take less than 5 minutes if you know what
you are doing.  This should be easy money for your UNIX gurus who are
kind enough to help a newbie get rid of his Windows and convert to
LINUX.

Thanks,
Steven Boscarine

PS-I will also pay for tech support over e-mail and the phone if you
can't make it to my place.
