If you have a bad phone line (like here in rural Australia), try a modem like the Maestro Woomera. It has special circuitry to match the phone line impedance levels and adjusts as such on the fly. It also not only re-trains down for slower speeds when the line gets bad, but also re-trains up when the line clears. I've NEVER had a disconnect due to a bad line with it. I'm sure they're probably not available overseas, and they are pricey (nearly 3 times the price at $300 AUS), but with a 10 year warranty, and the money I'm saving on re-connecting it's well worth it for me.

RE: Hardware Modem needed
USR 5610 PCI works great for me. Using it with hylafax and works perfect. Driver is in the kernel so no problems with hardware recognition.

Re: Hardware Modem needed
Well I placed a bit on a Creative Labs v.90 external serial. Its hardware driven. Does anyone else have this type of modem? If so what kind of problems did you have with it running under Red Hat? Do you need a special driver? Just a few questions. Thanks for the input guys.

I don't know if they are a current model or not, but this thing works great. I'm using it on what appears to be a difficult phone line. My previous 56k modem, a Diamond external, had lots of trouble at V90 connecting to and staying connected to my ISP, but this modem works like a charm. It looks like a tank, built into a steel box (no aluminum or plastic housings for THIS device!), has real blinky lights AND a LCD front panel display with a set of buttons you can use from there to program/configure the thing using the display's menu system. I got it last summer on EBAY (new) for forty bucks, though its list price is apparently more like 379 or thereabouts. [later] Just took a look at ebay and see there's someone selling ONE of these same modems there now, current bid is $29.99. In case you're interested, the item # is 2043028603. [/later] If you can narrow the search down to a small number of known-suitable modems, you may wish to take a look at ebay, i was amazed at the low prices modems were going for there last summer when I bought this one. My preference, FWIW, is for an external serial modem whenever there is no crunch for serial ports. This way you can work on it, reset it, remove it, replace it, without having to shut down/open up the box. I've heard that there are USB modems that work well with Linux's USB implementation (2.4.x kernel) but have no detailed knowledge or direct experience.

Internal hardware modems I have used with linux: isa:aopen itu/2. Works great and it's cheap, $40 or so. I'm using it now. pci:USR (3com) 5610 (retail) or 2976 & 2977 (oem) modems all work fine. The 5610 comes with some extra software, and one of the oem models doesn't come with voice but I can't remember which one. The 5610 probably goes for about twice the price of the aopen, and the oem models about $20 less. A good alternative if you don't have isa slots on your motherboard. As Mike notes above, any external serial modem ought to work fine. Of the three kinds I'd buy the cheapest solution that will work with your computer. -- redhat-list mailing list Unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
