Yes, they're still a pain in the keester, and a waste of money. ;) OTOH, more of the misbegotten things have drivers available (from various sites, like http://www.linuxant.com and http://www.linmodems.org) than was the case not all that long ago. Stuff like voice is almost never supported in Linux on these things, AFAICT. The AOpen would probably be easier to get working than the PCTel, as it uses a Conexant chipset, and the drivers are better for those. Still and all, if you can come up with a few more loonies, consider an inexpensive external *serial* modem, such as a Zoom (a brand I've had particularly good luck with) - you'll be glad that you did, IMHO. It's hard to go wrong with a hardware serial modem. -- Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0 "Listen, here's the thing.
