There are even modems that connect to the PC via USB cable. I have not tried these modems with and Linux distro, but for some reason I do not think that they would work!
They work well if the modem understands "AT" command set. Otherwise you need to install a driver in order to have an "AT" capable modem.
They work even better in the trash can. I tell the infrastructure that they either provide me with real networking equipment or I will go elsewhere. There is not much else where to go, though, with only two infrastructure providers on average for each given area. USB is great for low bandwidth, temporary storage and transfer, such as disk on key, keyboards, and printers. It is not good for high thoroughput, low latency connections. -- Dotan Cohen http://what-is-what.com http://gibberish.co.il א-ב-ג-ד-ה-ו-ז-ח-ט-י-ך-כ-ל-ם-מ-ן-נ-ס-ע-ף-פ-ץ-צ-ק-ר-ש-ת ا-ب-ت-ث-ج-ح-خ-د-ذ-ر-ز-س-ش-ص-ض-ط-ظ-ع-غ-ف-ق-ك-ل-م-ن-ه-و-ي А-Б-В-Г-Д-Е-Ё-Ж-З-И-Й-К-Л-М-Н-О-П-Р-С-Т-У-Ф-Х-Ц-Ч-Ш-Щ-Ъ-Ы-Ь-Э-Ю-Я а-б-в-г-д-е-ё-ж-з-и-й-к-л-м-н-о-п-р-с-т-у-ф-х-ц-ч-ш-щ-ъ-ы-ь-э-ю-я ä-ö-ü-ß-Ä-Ö-Ü N�����r��y隊Z)z{.�ﮞ˛���m�)z{.��+�Z+i�b�*'jW(�f�vǦj)h���Ǿ��i����� ��
