20803 2001-10-10 01:00:00 Hi just wondering what issues there are with Linux and laptops. What kind of modem would be needed, etc?

Thanks

But you modem probably will be a winmodem. Have a look at www.linmodems.org, you may be luckey (offical rockwell /connexant support is due at the end of the year, aparantly).

Mandrake have a list of supported hardware at:

www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3

And similar for other distros.
But if its not listed doesn't mean its not supported. A search on google will probably give you an answer.
