If it's a Win Modem there is a high probability that it wouldn't work on Linux. Win modems usually lack onboard controllers and rely on Windows OS programs and your motherboard cpu. As M$ is reluctant to turn loose of its source code the few Win Modems (that rumor has it) that work on Linux are usually reverse engineered by some free lance genius. Intel does have one that is supposed to work on Linux and they even have a Linux driver for it driver for it on their net site listed as experimental. > > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-users mailing list > Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
