Re: [expert] A very good WINE questions

As a matter of fact it "might" work, but the only apps that would be able to make use of that connection would be the ones being run "inside" the guest OS and none residing on the host OS. And the performance is already bad enough to make using even VMware something that you soon come to the point

Re: [expert] A very good WINE questions

in a word, No. Not only is Wine unstable to varying degrees, depending upon your particular systems' hardware and other factors involved, there are still quite a few memory address problems that need to be addressed. Just these issues alone would make this application of Wine not only unbearable

I guess I'll just have to go out and return my WinModem garbage for a serial modem :-D I was only curious because I am way to cheap to buy another modem!! Thanks for your input guys Stef Keep in touch with http://mandrakeforum.com: Subscribe the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" mailing list.

RE: [expert] A very good WINE questions

It would not work. Hardware drivers are always (99.% of the time) tied to the operating system in use. An internal modem needs a separate driver disk for Win9x, NT, Linux, Mac, etc. Buy an external real modem and it'll work with just about every computer on the market using pretty much just

Re: [expert] A very good WINE questions

Yes, Stefan, the question is a good one but I fear the annswer is no. The modem is hardware, and for this hardware to work in Linux, the OS (Linux) must set it up as a device. I do not use WINE but my understanding is that it only ports software from one platform to another, i.e. Windows programs

Re: [expert] A very good WINE questions

My guess would be no. Wine is used to emulate an environment for an application, not create a complete Windows environment. A winmodem needs driver support that a simple emulator can't deliver. On the other hand, if you use a package like VMware, now that should likely work. ---
