BTW, its a 56k USR PCI modem.
You wouldn't have a model number for this thing would you? My new machine has only PCI slots and my old reliable 56k modem is ISA. I either need to track down a good PCI internal or a 56k external...one or the other. I'm looking for what's worked for others and so on. It's not a pressing item, so I've not spent much time figuring out what's a winmodem and what isn't. -- Linux SxS [http://sxs.webhop.net] _______________________________________________ Linux-users mailing list Archives, Digests, etc at http://linux.nf/mailman/listinfo/linux-users
