According to the manual, not really. USB support in general is still not that good in x86 Linux variants as it is in Windoze. But they are working on it, so chances are great that newer kernel versions will offer better USB support. DJ.

Well, you might want to try using another Distro. I personally and from a professional point of view like SuSE Linux very much. At work we use their distros on several machines (Mail, DNS, etc.). The advantage of SuSE (current release: SuSE Linux 6.3, SuSE Linux 6.4 is to be released real soon) is that they pack an incredible lot of software on their CD's and they usually also always include the newest stable and "hacker" kernels. So if you really HAVE TO use your ISDN adapter via USB, you should give SuSE a try. Chances are big, that if there was any advancement in USB support SuSE has included the appropriate kernel onto their CD's, so all you needed to do is to recompile the kernel and have USB support included. But be warned, though: SuSE is great if you know what you are doing, but Newbies will find it rather unfriendly or hard to understand, IMO. From a Newbie POV Mandrake is far better suited.

So far it recognizes my USB Logitech Trackball, which is super!

Anybody have an idea when USB support will be available in Linux? Regards, Sean http://www.sjptech.com
