In the OP's context, going into "safe mode" so the ISP Help Desk can
walk through the approved connection resolution process (Skymesh support
have one for Windows and one for Mac, none for Linux)... not the same
thing. There's actually 3 "Windows Safe Modes". The one Help Desk wanted
the OP to use is a single-user GUI-mode with networking. Debian run
level 1 is not an equivalent.
Kind regards
