USB modem for laptop


Anyone know of a good/cheap/easy to setup modem for a laptop with Mandrake 9.0 on it?

Preferably, the modem would be for sale in UK.

BTW, it's for dial up, not ADSL.

advTHANKSance

HCL's for Linux are never entirely accurate, but here's a rather good one for USB devices:

Thanks Finegan, although you have me pondering what a HCL is.

hardware compatability list

Every kernel brings new support with it, as well as there being non-in-kernel support available direct from the manufacturer of the goody, from a 3rd party project, etc, so every HCL should be considered by default, a little out of date.

Cheers,
