I need a future proof modem, as he will be upgrading his computer within the year. Personally, I would go for external (serial) and keep my current linux box as a gateway/masquarading/firewall box for the house network - but that's just me. My friend needs a PCI or USB modem that works under Linux. I know that PCI modems are more difficult to get working under linux (check out http://serial.sourceforge.net), and that things might get better under 2.4. Hence the question. Thanks for all the suggestions for known working pci modems (and the serial ones too), but: a) it can be harder to get hold of these in the UK, with different model numbers, etc b) I am curious about the more general issue of pci modems under kernel 2.4 thanks, tom _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
