I think you are asking the wrong question. Or at least asking the wrong
way. Any of those systems should work -- with the right DSL modem. Make
it ethernet interfaced. If you want a new system, buy it, but not
because you need it for DSL.

I have the Jaton Communicator V.90 working very nicely under RHL 6.2 in an ABIT
KA7-100 motherboard with an AMD-750 . It is a 16-bit ISA card with a real
16C550A/16C450 register compatible UART so it will work right out of the box with the
standard Linux serial port drivers. It has jumpers for I/O com port and IRQ select or
PNP. It's got every bell and whistle you could want (V.everything, fax, voicemail,
speakerphone, caller ID, AT command set, etc.). I paid $49.99 at a local dealer.
Here's the URL for the Jaton web page describing the modem:
http://www.jaton.com/Newsite/Modem_Device/ISA_Modem/isa_modem.html

I am currently looking for a good cheap modem for linux. I was looking at
the Creative Labs Flash 56k, model DI5602, which is an ISA hardware based
modem that I saw being sold online for $30. However, the linux modem
compatibility database only lists model 5601, Creative Labs Flash II 56k
(the DI5601 is a newer model than the DI5602), as being linux compatible.
Does anyone have any experience with that particular modem? If not, can you
suggest a linux compatible modem that is less than $40?
Thanks

cat /proc/scsi/scsi
and make sure your tape drive is listed. Does your kernel support
SCSI tape drives? Is it via a module? Are you configured to have
the kernel autoloading? Is the tape module loading (lsmod to find
out)? The device name for the tape drive is probably /dev/st0.

I've had to install the XF86_FBDev Frame Buffer server (to support my
new ATI Rage Pro 32MB) and pasted my old bits over for keyboard section.
Now my up / down /left /right / delete / etc. keys are either non
functioning or throwing wobblies.
Here is /etc/XF86Config and keyboard section is unchanged from
configuration that worked OK when set up with SVGA server.

We recently bought a 22Gbyte hard disk for use under Linux.
I can partition this and format it fine. It is used as scartch storage
hence only one huge parition (we have some enourmous files).
The disk : IBM 22Gbyte, 7200 rpm, 2Mbyte cache UDMA.

IRQ 9 is not usually available, because it is used to redirect interrupts
from the 2nd
interrupt controller to the first via IRQ2. I have seen in some cases where
the driver is
smart that it is possible to use IRQ 9 and or 2, but not very often.
