Mostly correct. Linux has support for some winmodems (specifically the ones based on Lucent's chipset) with some kernel revisions (specifically a recent 2.2 kernel iirc) in the form of a binary-only loadable module. If you don't meet those conditions the thing is worthless without Windows, I'm sorry to say. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
