wine users - Aug 2011 - how 2 download WINE thru windows (no linux modem yet)

This is pesky; cant get on net yet with brandy new ubuntu, as cannot install
modem and no clear directions in ubuntu 10.04

need wine: cannot find how to get: all net pages assume youve got modem up and
running ie advising just use "downloader" or "package
source"....what about no modem yet in linux? (looking here thru windows)...
impossible

Need to download wine for Ubuntu kernel 2.6.32 : in order to make JUNO dialer
work and connect to internet. Have not even figured out how to install modem
(usb fax) yet, it all revolves around having already made an internet
connection. Hence cannot do a thing on net from linux side of laptop.

How to get right WINE version downloaded via windows and saved on external
drive????? to somehow manually install into ubuntu and get online??? Without
online, all these directions I find are useless.

:)

Hi.

You will have to manually get the wine deb file as well as any dependencies that
it has. It is not an easy task and you have to download quite some files. I no
longer use Ubuntu so I cannot help you track each of the packages down, sorry.

Sorry for double-posting.

Furthermore, this issue is related to packaging and not to Wine itself.

Jorl and DeMesio,thank you

We already downloaded via windows, the deb files for the modem in question...

But its the JUNO that is a pain in the tuckus. We tried it in an older version
of Suse and finally got online, only to see an error page for Juno stating
"your connectivity is limited" ie you cant get past this page. They
incredibly "support" Linspire the deceased Linux...derrr. But someone
says it shouldnt need to be "supported" at all, and that all normal
dialup services should theoretically work with Linux.

Its the forced DIALER in Juno that we want wine to impersonate windows with, to
get online with Juno.Not the modem.

 [Crying or Very sad]

In Juno it cant be configured without their silly DIALER box. You cant go in to
windows normally and reroute it via dialup configuration, and neither in linux.
so purpose is to get WINE to impersonate this exe dialer normally used in
windows, to get online.
