What PC Card modems are they talking about? AS I posted last time, I have tried the 'True Hardware' Zonet PC Card modem and can't get it to work. On the box it came in, it even says that it is compatible with Linux that have later kernals, but does not specify which kernal(s) it is talking about. I have a US Robotics Megahertz 28.8 kbps XJACK PC Card modem that I upgraded (via a firmware update) to 33.6 kbps. Linux sees it as a serial port. It's worked fine in every machine I've used it in. These can be picked up very cheaply on eBay, and computer surplus stores often have buckets full of them they're dying to unload.
Yep, I got a Dell PCMCIA modem at a junk sale for $12. Has worked perfectly for years whenever I have [rarely] actually needed to use an analog line. Don't forget the most often overlooked solution - your cell phone. Most cell pones can attach via a USB port, emulate a serial port, and support the Hayes command set. Every cell phone I've had I've been able to make a terminal call with (using nothing but the USB cable and minicom). -- -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
