Dear All I've just got a sparkle speedcom+ intel 56k fax modem v.92 I want to replace my US Robotics win modem so that it is worthwhile to put Linux on my home machine and run it with XP (sorry) Will the sparkle one work? What do you think of the Mandrake 9.2 off Linux Format for the purpose? I looked up the 9.2 on web and it talked about loads of patches etc. As you might realise (especially if youre not too clever - I have only got a 56k transfer - so laoding off net is slow derrr slow) I think Linux User has got a Unix OS - how difficult is that? (that might be a impossible answer) Thanks for your time and advice Ron Johnson ________________________________________________________________________ Want to chat instantly with your online friends?
