Welcome to IWETHEY!

New they tried lindows a few years ago at that price
the difference between the two is the OS licensing fees. Linux dialup has been around for years, dunno why it wasnt configured to use it.
thanx,
bill

New They didn't want the dial up tech support calls
Speaking as someone who did a year of dialup tech support.

For $199 they are probably making about $10 on each PC. A tech support call will put them in the negatives. If someone has a home network, then they already have a DHCP server. Plug in the PC and go.

But with dialup, there is a bunch of things to go wrong, and every idiot in the US has a phone so there is no chance of selecting down to people who have already configured a home network.

It makes sense.
     WalMart $199 Linux box - (andread) - (4)
         they tried lindows a few years ago at that price - (boxley) - (1)
             They didn't want the dial up tech support calls - (crazy)
         Link is broken. -NT - (static)
         Only $199 on their website is gOS - (jbrabeck)

Idle.
