==================================
It's likely that your internal modem is a winmodem; so many of them are
these days on new machines, unless you have the OEM customize somehow.
You should try to find out precisely which modem it is that you have (you
can find out in Windows) and then check the supported list at
linmodems.com. If you don't mind popping for the few bucks for an
external, I'd recommend that root (as opposed to getting a software based
modem working). Just be sure it's a serial port external as oppossed to a
USB (many of which are also software based). You won't regret having an
external, I assure you. Mike
