Someplace in this thread I asked if eLinux.com might not be a reliable vendor
for Linux hardware.
Take a look at the list of modems in their catalog: USR PCI modems! How
many places have I read that PCI modems do not work and, further,
recommendations to avoid 3COM/US Robotics. So, whom to believe?
BTW, I am disappointed that this thread still has not addressed my original
problem of a crashing mdk7.0 installation.
Gave it up. Installed FBSD 3.4.
Oh, well, the modem discussion has merit. For now, stick to external models?
