On the subject of external modems, beware USB modems.
Dennis,
I had a modem seem to stop working once in Mandrake. It was a single
boot machine so I didnt get to try windows.
I finally traced it down to a single ` having turned into a '. or vice
versa, in my chat-script.
No idea how it happened but it fixed it right up.
I remember digging through log files till I got a clue but its been a
while and I dont remember much more than that.
If you figure it out, post what you did. Sounds like a real bear!
