Frank: What I meant was the some Lucent-based modems will work under Linux, but other Lucent-based modems won't -- it depends on the specific Lucent chipset. Part of Alan's problem is that Mandrake identifies the modem as a 3Com, but Windows says its a Lucent. His best hope is that Windows is right, and Mandrake is wrong (well, it COULD happen -- yeah, right), and that he's got one of the Lucent chipsets that will work. OTOH, perhaps he got some bad information about the 3Com modem; he can check that out at the address that I gave him. Sorry for the confusion. -- cmg
