Re: [newbie] US Robotics Modem Driver]
No, it's a USB modem -- way too many of which are winmodems. I've never heard of a parallel port modem; you probably mean a serial port modem. They don't require drivers; they just work. -- cmg ahathere ARE parallel port modems...they are ancient already and many have not seen them before. My apologies for not reading the post properly... it was stated clearly that it was a USB modem. Well, i learnt my lesson with a USB modem a few years back...it's not gonna work unless u run it on windoz. Or, at best, it's gonna be an on-off case...bad connectivity, etc, etc. i Agree fully, a serial port modem is the best...coz it's a hardware modem, totally independent of the OS. a href=http://www.spreadfirefox.com/community/?q=affiliatesid=0t=61;img border=0 alt=Get Firefox! title=Get Firefox! src=http://www.spreadfirefox.com/community/images/affiliates/Buttons/110x32/trust.gif//a -- __ Check out the latest SMS services @ http://www.linuxmail.org This allows you to send and receive SMS through your mailbox.

I've looked in the archives but could not find anything there on the subject. That does not mean its not there if it is its just I didn't find it. My problem is a minor but annoying one and is that on startup the desktop icons all gather on the left of the screen in any old order they feel like.I have to snap them to grid each time to see to use them. This happened under 9.1 and now 9.2, in 9.0, my first experience with Linux they sat where they were told to. Any info on how to get them to appear on desktop as I want on startup appreciated.
