Hi,
My existing dialup modem does not have linux drivers (its one of those winmodems), and so am planning on buying a new modem for my machine. I checked around the net for a list of modems that are known to work with linux (hardware modems preferred, if not winmodems that do have drivers for linux) ... but couldn't find anything concrete. Any ideas where I can find such info?
Thanks, Rakhesh
Google is your friend ;) http://www.google.com/search?num=25&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&c2coff=1&safe=off&q=linux+modem+compatibility&spell=1
I never went much for the concrete approach myself; when I first tried out Linux and found out my modem wasn't going to work, I went out and bought an external serial modem which worked straight outta the box on MDK 8.2. The second hand stores around here are also choc-full of second hand Hayes hardware modems that people traded in for their "faster" (read: more expensive) winmodems.
It's not very scientific (and probably incorrect as well), but my general rule of thumb was that if it looked old and was covered in big integrated circuits (rather than having very few chips on it at all) it would probably work in Linux.
