This rig is a Compaq 700EA with no serial port, running RHEL3. I have to modem :( It has a built-in *shitty* Conexant (or suchlike) HSFi softmodem - I lived with that for =~ 18 months, then things went wrong (new OS, new kernel, commercial driver needed). It now has a Xircom "CreditCard GSM Modem 56-GlobalACCESS" PCMCIA fax/data modem and works perfectly. In fact RHEL3's cardmgr assured that it worked right out of the box on my next reboot). It cost �69,- inclusive 20% tax, Hylafax software is free - I didn't get to have a Fax with the HSFi softmodem. --Tonni -- mail: billy - at - billy.demon.nl http://www.billy.demon.nl _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
