[SLE] PCMCIA modems - which one should I get?
Hi, I have been enjoying my SuSE 6.4 install on my laptop. Its working like a charm... except for the fact that I have a WinModem. I have been unable to dial-up to my ISP and have to resort to sharing a connection through a winblowz machine. I have become frustrated with this approach and I am now planning on purchasing a new PCMCIA modem. I know that as long as it isn't a winmodem I should be fine, but any ways I wonder: Which one should I get? and Why? What kind of problems (if any) should I expect to run into while trying to get the new card to work with my install? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated Thanks J -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
I have a Hawking 56K V.90 Fax Modem PC Card, P/N BFM5600-CF. It was
cheap, about $50US, a year ago. I used it for a month on the road
last summer and it behaved fine. I don't remember any problems
getting it working under Linux.

Hello, I have a PCMCIA Linksys Combo card. It works great. Price was good. I got HylaFax working with it. So I am connected to the net and can fax. George Tue, 13 Jun 2000, ÷Ù ÎÁÐÉÓÁÌÉ:

I just bought a Compaq Presario 1900 XL161. I have not yet loaded Linux (I have both SuSE 6.4 and Mandrake 7.0). According to the Laptop Howto, the onboard Lucent modem is supported:http://www.iit.edu/~duffian/compaq.html A friend recommended the Linksys 10/100 pc card, model # PCMPC100, but make sure it is the non-cardbus model. I have not yet decided which network card to buy yet. On 16 Jun 2000, at 0:15, George Zeigler wrote:
