I do happen to have an external modem, and it seems you may well be correct about the modem since no actual driver is loaded under windows. My motherboard sadly doesn't have ISA slots so that particular option is out for me. I do however have the serial ports, usb ports, pci slots, and an amr slot. I'd rather keep the serial port free for the palm pilot so would consider an amr modem if linux supports those James > "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy." > -Benjamin Frankilin > > ____________________________________________________________________ > Get your own FREE, personal Netscape WebMail account today at http://home.netscape.com/webmail >
