External is the way to go. You can see the lights/activity and the modem can be moved most any type operating system. It's probably easier to set up a firewall also, since there's a network card for the modem, and one for the internal network (if applicable). -----Original Message----- From: Jack Malone [mailto:jmalone@horizonind.com] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2001 12:55 PM To: Richard Ibbotson; suse-linux-e@suse.com Subject: Re: [SLE] Re: ADSL Modem why not get an external one that hooks to your pc via cat 5 cable to your network card. I picked up one (westel i think) that my provider found for about 200 or so. works nice. im at work so can not tell for sure the brand name. With the eithernet hookup you can easly move it from one machine to another if that need arises an all u have to worry about is having a working nic in the machine. jack At 06:41 PM 9/21/2001 +0100, Richard Ibbotson wrote:
Hi
the usb modems are supported but the pci ones are not.
Yes, I know about the USB ones. Been looking at the drivers. Don't really like the USB ones though.
Oh well ... I suppose I'll have to use those :((
Thanks
