I was connecting by dialup only for about three years until recently. I agree that RS-232 hardware modems are good. But there is also a new breed of external USB modems that works just as easily. The one I bought was US Robotics. It was plug and play, no additional driver needed. I bought that modem because the computer that used it did not have a serial port. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
