Hi all, I just stumbled upon a neat thing. People have started writing Linux drivers for WinModems. And the one that came with my system has a driver. Yay! I was really bummed when I found out that I had a WinModem. And hopefully this will be an immediate help. I do plan on getting a real modem here in the not too distant future, but it's not a priority just yet. For anybody else who is enterested I found out about these at the following sites: http://linmodems.org/ http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html Cheers!
