Anyways right now i am dual booting Windows XP home edition and Fedora core 3 and i have two 56k internal modems for both of which i can't find and make any drivers work for FC3. So i have decided to buy an external modem which was suggested by many other people. So my question is that which external modem should i buy to use with FC3 ? I went on google and found one on the Pricespy website (www.pricespy.co.nz) . Will it work? Thanks for reading. Electric Jaguar	Electric Jaguar (9692)

The make and model, and the word "linux" is usually enough . You could try "Fedore 3" instead . . . That sort of search will usually find if there are problems with the product . Sometimes it will find fixes for any problems . Have a look at the linmodems . org site for internal modems . That's the source . You might find a hardware compatibility list for Fedora . Red Hat probably still have one, so look at their site . If it works for Red hat, it will almost certainly work for Fedora .	Graham L (2)

If so you might be better off looking for an external on Trademe as a lot of the people migrating to ADSL may be flogging theirs off cheaply . The dialup modem that I used with Fedora Core 1 and 2 was a Dynalink 56K e-modem 1456VQE-C which Linux had no problems with . I assume that would be the case with Core 3 as well .	FoxyMX (5)
