Type: dmesg
That should give you most of it. The rest will be in:

I use a zoom pcmcia modem with my laptop and RedHat LInux 6.0
Internal laptop modems are painfully hard to get working since
they are usually "WinModems". I got everything working except
the modem built in and the sound card. Funny though, 6.0 sound
wont work, but 5.2 worked flawlessly! Pcmcia modems are generally
all OK to use, but zoom does in fact work very nice!

Our slide show CGI is an awesome addition to any site. It allows your users
to surf "hands free" through your photo archives. Users can set delay and
skip photos they dont want to see immediately. This CGI works in harmony with
our "Naughty Navigator" program (CGI) which allows users to navigate
your images
by viewing thumbnails in a paged mode. The items will work seperately, however
in harmony, having both is the best way to add to your site. Added time saving
features are also included with the navigator CGI. This system will auto-create
all the thumbnails and etc. for you. No html to generate. Additionally these
are all fully customizable. We do all the installation, so there is no
guesswork or trial and error on your part. We hold your hand the whole way
and make sure you understand how they work. (Quite easy I might add).
Please let me know if you have any questions.
In God We Trust, all others pay cash.
