Hi everyone. We have just bought a machine with a winmodem which SuSE does not recognise. Would it be OK to get a 'real' external modem too to use under Linux, or would I first have to remove the winmodem (thereby invalidating my guarantee).

No need to remove the winmodem, since Linux won't even know it exists. You just have to plug the external modem in and everything should be fine, just select the appropriate port in YaST.

Thanks, Steve.
Before you spend a few extra pesetas (euros), why don't you check: http://linmodens.org I have a winmodem and it works just fine under Linux (btw, mine is based on a Lucent chip) Alvaro Novo SuSE 6.4 Kernel 2.2.16 KDE 2 - Beta 5 -- 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/faq
