Hi guys. You are right about Winmodems being a *****. I have had Linux installed on my machine for two months, Mandrake 8.2 I think, and it will not recognise my "Lucent Winmodem." All of the experts in this little town of Waihi have had a go and still no go. I am itching to try it out, but it looks like I may have to dump it. |

Have the look at the Fount of Win/Lin modem wisdom (http://www.linmodems.org/) . |

I think Winmodems are more trouble than they're worth. My new PC can't take my old US Robotics internal because, like most/all new systems, the motherboard lacks an ISA slot.
I therefore bought a Dynalink external 56k from http://www.advantage.co.nz for ~$120. And, of course, having an external gives you the advantage of being able to see the cute flashing LEDs (which always does a good job of impressing less PC-literate friends). |

l like the pretty lights on my cable modem, and my hub for the same reason! They face the door to my office. |
