'Never needed to FAX much till now, so I've looking for a NON-Win modem and found this one USR has made. It's a tad pricey, but should work well, just in case someone else is in need of one. 'Ordered tonight. I am planning to visit relatives in Peru in a November. Earlier I had given them a computer but forgot that they don't have high speed net yet and I didn't include a modem. Please tell me which modem you got since I will probably be needing that type to take with me when I visit them. Right now they are still using an old HP Vectra 486

Damon Register If the new PC will have a serial port, imho your best bet is to buy a (read: any) external modem.
I cannot remember that there was any AT-command compatible modem that did not work with Linux. Maybe an internal modem will be more elegant, but I cannot comment on these. Always used external ones, where you can see the LEDs and conclude what they are doing. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
