modems


Should I go out and purchase a serial modem, or try to make my installed PCI winmodem work? What are your thought? Fell free to e-mail me if you like.

Winmodems tend to be a lot of work to get operational under linux. I don't know if you know but a winmodem is a piece of hardware that has been gutted and relies on (windows) software to make it work. If you don't want a headache I recommend getting a serial modem. They're pretty cheap these days.
