170022 2003-08-24 00:46:00 Toying with the idea of trying out Linux on an unused computer, but thought firstly I would check if a Dynalink External 1456VQE would work with the OS? Curly (487)
170023 2003-08-24 01:12:00 That modem was mentioned in this thread (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz) just a few posts below as being used successfully in Linux. tommy (2826)
170024 2003-08-24 02:59:00 Yes,the Dynalink 1456VQE works fine on my computer,running Mandrake 9.1,Suse 8.2 and Slackware 9.0.On my system it connects slower than the old Lucent PCI modem which I managed to get up and running(thanks to Geoff Palmer).

Cheers

170026 2003-08-24 04:10:00 For any hardware: just enter "make_and_model linux" to google. You will almost always find a definite usable/not usable answer. (The printer lists have an bad-news "paperweight" category --- printers are heavier than other periphereals). Graham L (2)
