Not all of them will. Some are just lousy paper weights. It all depends on the DSP chipset. Some are well supported with FOSS software, some require compiling proprietary drivers, others are hopeless - and since the pool of dialup modem users seems to be shrinking, I doubt there will ever be much further reverse engineering on those. > Additional software is needed, any other modem will function > "plug'n'play" I have had zero success with external USB modems. But all I could prove is that when plugged in they existed. No idea if either of them was broken. -- Philip _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new parts see official list sponsor: http://www.buymbparts.com/ For used parts email [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
