Such things do exist. There are modems that, on first connection appear to be a USB Mass Storage device (i.e. a pen drive) upon which the user can find drivers for the modem (though, typically, these drivers only work with a very limited number of operating systems). In these cases, debian can use the package "usbmodeswitch" to send the command to switch the USB device into modem mode, at which point the PPP connection can be made. > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
