Hi
Just a quick note. I have an external (US Robotics) and internal (Hayes).
The internal was set with plug and play. This did not work with Unix nor NT.
I have not tried it yet under Linux. I had to manually configure it using the
jumpers. The external worked no problem. The point being, plug and play is
great for Windows 95 but may not suit other operating systems.
Just my few cents worth.
Regards Brett.

Winmodems are probably OK for Windows. But since they lack essential
hardware (and have to use the CPU of the computers using a proprietary
DLL to compensate) they simply won't work with anything else, e.g.
Linux.

Hi Wolfgang,
You're right, winmodems are probably ok for gatesware. But nothing else!
Once someone gets passed kindergarden they will want a real modem. Then
they will be kicking their butts for spending money on a toy. So the
bottom line is don't get trapped by the evil empire!
