[newbie] GATEWAY ONLY INSTALLS WINMODEMS ON THEIR SYSTEMS
Just talked to the tech at Gateway. I have a winmodem.:(. In fact it seems that Gateway only installs winmodems on their systems. As I have to replace current modem can anyone recommend a good one?Thanks

Nothing new about that. Most, if not all, of the major manufacturers install WinModems, or worse, HCF modems. It's a $$$ thing. ;) Later. Ty C. Mixon F.T.C. Enterprises [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ 26147713

CNET external modem modem #5614XE. 56k, verified working with Linux, around $50. Word is they have some really good hubs too. Beware any modem that says "host based" or sports a minimum CPU requirement -- it's probably a skanky WinModem thing. This I learned from my own experience.
