The only solution to the Winmodem problem is to be very careful and buy one of the very few that has Linux support (see www.linmodems.org, link from there to winmodem site). Or better, buy a real modem. Checking for DOS support for your modem is not a bad first step, if it works with DOS it should work with Linux. > > Mark > > Stefan Srdic wrote: > > > > I read that WINE is Windows compatibility layer for Linux.
