I have one and use it occasionally. It is a modem, so it interfaces like a modem. No special software is needed. Some warnings ..... 1. It doesn't work everywhere. There are some places where it doesn't work at all, no matter how good the signal is. It has something to do with what kind of system you are on. Even if it is supported locally, you need a very good signal. 2. It is slow. At best, it connects at 9600. Some dialup ISP's will not connect that slow, leaving you with no way to connect. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
