Hello, I made the mistake of purchasing a USB modem to use with my LM8.0 installation - "it's an external modem, isn't it?". Well, yes and no! I won't go into the details of what I eventually worked out from reading forums and newsgroups, but basically some USB modems work, and some don't. So: buy a good old-fashioned serial port external modem. It will work straight out of the box without any messing about with drivers. I settled on a Elsa Microlink Fun, simply because a) it was cheap b) I liked the colour c) I couldn't find any negative reviews with Google. Have fun, Richard *********************************************************************** This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named recipient(s) only and are confidential and may be privileged.
