----- Original Message ----- From: Yatsen Ng <yatsen-ng@cistron.nl> |O.k., I found out that my modem won't work under Linux. Same goes for my |soundcard. I was warned about this in the book "Mastering LINUX". The |writer, Arman Danesh, says '...you are best off without a Plug-and-Play |modem, and should really consider spending the small amount of extra |money required to get an external modem'. Too bad I took notice of Linux |after I got my new rig. My question is; is there an internal modem that |will work under Linux or will I have to get an external one? If I do |need to get an external modem, is an E-Tech a good choice? Any |suggestions? Thanks. I'm using a Cardinal Connecta 56K 3440 wirh SuSE 6.0 and it works fine. It's idenetical to the US Robotics Sortster, and while it as a pnp internal modem, you can disable pnp and assign an irq vai jumpers. I got the card to work in less than 5 minutes, and haven't had any problems so far. But beware there's also a winmodem available from botch Cardinal and USR, so make sure you grab the right one, and you shouldn't have any problems. -=codemonke=- - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
