Hi, before investing on a USB modem I'd like to ask someone here about issues. My system, Thinkpad 600x laptop, runs on Suse's 9.0 Pro edition. Suse was able to detect/configure my current MegaHertz/USR PCMCIA modem. It works well but I cannot get any speed higher than 34 even though it's rated to transfer up to 56. I'd like to switch to a modem with better transfer/compatibility but with the ease of portability. I've noted a few small pocket USB modems, hence my question below. Generally, are USB modems plug and play like most USB devices or do they require additional drivers/configuration? Thanks in advance,Peter LandySchenectady, NY _______________________________________________ No banners. No pop-ups. No kidding. Introducing My Way - http://www.myway.com
