i got this external modem

will it work under linux or not

how shall i know

if it's a hardware modem it will work. if it's a winmodem it won't work.

If it's external it's more likely to be hardware.

u don't need to install it at all

it is already installed

all u have to do is to be sure that the link /dev/modem is pointing to ur modem and just whatever dailer u r using to conect to the net

r u using kppp or what?

I'm thinking of buying one of these, do you need to install any drivers for it or can you just bang it strate in and away she goes?
