I agree with the external modems work in linux. I have a Best Data ext
Modem that worked very well until recently. It still works in windows
but I keep getting a "Modem does not respond". I have tried to reset,
unplug, reconfig, etc. To no avail. The modem is plugged into com1 i.e.
ttyS0 and works in windows, but no response in 7.2. It does not show up
in harddrake either. Any suggestions out there. Oh, I am on the Linux
only box right now using a Best Data internal modem which also works
very well and says Linux compatable on the box. Thanks for any help with
this puzzle.
