I'm glad you found one. I probably should have said that 9-10 external modems are hardware modems. Oops. Sorry about that. But it's been years for me..having a modem that is. It will be so nice when IT/Tech is in favor again and DSL/Cable can be brought to everyone for a reasonable price. Then no more of this modem crap...but then again they will probably find some other way to sting the consumer. * Colburn (mdc@aaahawk.com) [020901 20:16]: ::I returned the PCI (winmodem) and purchased one of the only two (of a dozen) ::modems at Best Buy that were not winmodems. :: ::I chose the Zoom Model 3049 External modem. It works! :: ::Thanks to those who encouraged me as I sought a modem that will work with ::Linux/SuSE 8.0. -- Ben Rosenberg ---===---===---===--- mailto:ben@whack.org Tell me what you believe..
