Re: [newbie] modem that is compatible with linux

[Jason Greenwood]

With modems, it is much better to have a hardware modem (e.g. external 
serial/usb modem) than a so-called software modem (e.g. Winmodem) which 
relies on the OS to do some of its work, thus the slightly lower cost. 
Buy a hardware modem and all your problems will dissappear. There are 
really cheap ones secondhand so cost should not be a factor. When I was 
on dialup (now on ADSL), I used a dynalink external serial modem without 
incident for years on Linux...

My .0002c worth.

Cheers

Hi,
I bought a new modem, PROLINK 1456 PVC (it is detected in 9.1 as
winmodem). I install it, it is said that cannot be installed. Please
someone can tell me which modem that is compatible with 9.1 or I go to a
certain site that I can see a list of hardware that is compatible with 9.1.
I am looking forward to favorable reply from you. Thank you.
Eko.
   

You could have a look on Linmodems.Org.  It appears to be a fairly 
comprehensive page, though there is a broken link at the bottom which you may 
have found helpful.
