Go to this website, use the "find in pages" command on the edit menu and type in your modem, or just browse the list. this is a table of modems compatible with Linux. I found out a modem I thought wasn't a winmodem uses a software controlled rockwell chipset :-( http://www.o2.net/~gromtitkc/19991007a.html If that doesn't work, go to the mandrakeuser.org website, click on the hardware link, then the hardware resources link, then Winmodems information page link about 3/4 of the way down the page. Check this out and make sure it'll work under linux before beating your head against the wall. The homepage for this website gives a really good explanation why winmodems don't work. One ruke of thumb- if the modem isn't compatble with DOS- it most likely won't run under linux Jeremy Kersenbrock wrote: > > Mike, > > First of all, I hope your modem has jumpers.
