One of the biggest reasons, that was not mentioned a lot, is that external modems are less likely to be "soft"modems. That is, a WinModem. If you look at the Linux-modem list that I sent to you, you will find quite a few modems on there that do not work with Linux. Almost 100% of them are Internal modems. The external modems are more likely to be hardware based, and therefore Linux compatible. On the other hand, if you do decide to go with an Internal modem (for most people it is because of cost - internal is usually 3/4 to 1/2 the price of an external) please check out that Linux modem list. That way you are not likely to get burned. Stuart p.s. There is a link somewhere to a "Cheap Linux Box" - in there they give at least two internal modems that work with Linux. -- Stuart Hall Cheshire, Connecticut, USA Linux User# 141732 --=20 To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe(a)suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help(a)suse.com = =20 Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/ --===============2071919301697061320==--
