RE: [newbie] A good external or similar modem to use with MD 7.2 / Harddrake + Sounds
Tom Brinkman said: "If you explore the modem related info there, it's believed that any hardware modem built around a USR or Texas Instruments chipset are the best. You needn't have to buy an external modem. They cost more and what with cable and all, take up space. Plus they deprive you of one of your serial ports." Speaking of chipsets, the cheapest external modems seem to be those with Rockwell chipsets, at least here in New Zealand. I'm not too sure what the story is with this - it seems from what I've found on the web that the older rockwell chipset modems were semi-winmodem but later ones tend to have hardware error correction. Since suppliers are only telling me "has Rockwell chipset" when I ask to quote for a Linux compatible modem, do I have any need to be worried about compatability? I've looked at the modem compatibility page at http://members.tripod.co.uk/uk_radio_amateurs/modemlin.html but the brands/models we get downunder don't feature on it. Cheers Barry
RE: [newbie] Modem's busy
Bob Said: "I found an internal modem that works with Linux. It is a "ActionTec 56K Internal PCI Call Waiting Modem". On the box it says it supports Linux and was under $70 at WalMart..." There's another one at www.compgeeks.com - can't remember brand, but they've tested and found it works A-OK. Barry
