Hi All, I have an older HP machine that has been cobbled together from all sorts of leftover parts, and need to get a new modem. I do know to avoid winmodems, but was wondering what is the best way to go to make the install easy as possible. I have been lucky in the past using laptops as Suse has detected my pcmcia card automatically, but, since this is my first desktop machine, and I am really more of an average user than linux aficionado, I am wondering what sort of modem to buy to make this procedure as automatic as possible. I am currently in the UK in Ashford, Kent, and would like any advice on how to buy a good modem for Suse 8.1 pro. My first impulse would be to go through the hardware database, copy down all the modems that have full support, and see what the local computer stores can get for me. Any other tips would be appreciated (ie: internal or external etc.) Thanks. Neal McDermott --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
