You can use any modem as long as the system could recognize it, but external modems will give you better performance and stability. Most internal and USB modems do not have their own controller and will depend on your cpu for processing. The cyclades multiport serial device has 16 ports and can be cascaded to provide 32 ports. Instead of mgetty, you could also use portslave then authenticate users via a radius server. -rpb _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
