ian, you can use internal modems as long as your system can detect it. But as for me, im still having a hard time finding drivers for my internal modem at home. External modems are much easier to configure. And for easy setup and monitoring, i will say it is much better to use externals.
about the number of modems, that depends on your serial card. For our box, we use 16 port card (equinox) but i only use it for up to 8 modems. gracie ----- Original Message ----- From: eeyan - sysad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, October 23, 2002 1:37 PM Subject: Re: [plug] help on mgetty on rh7.2 dial-in server > Gracie, > > Can I use internal modems? and/or USB modems for dial-in?
