The original manufacturer of that is Amptron (http://www.amptron.com) and it is also
sold at http://www.desertdevils.com, whom I would recommend. I know on their site
they talk about shipping it with Linux so I would assume that the modem was supported.
Anyway, I thought the machine was kind of cool. I was thinking it would make a great
mp3 jukebox for my hi-fi system at home. With the video out I could just run the
display to my TV and control the songs from there. How do you like it? Would you let
me know if your happy with it and if it's not too rude what you paid for it and where
you bought it?
As an aside, anybody have suggestions on building an mp3 jukebox with Linux? Good
ripping or download software and players?
Sincerely,
Jim Ryan

Subject: iCue "book PC"
At Sunday's computer show in Manchester I picked up a "book
PC" labeled "iCue" on the front, for a fixed purpose workstation
at work. I did install TurboLinux on it (and W98, the USB oriented
software for the dedicated hardware we're running it on only comes
for W98 and I don't have time to check out how it does under Wine).
It works pretty well.
The book that came with it actually talks about putting Linux
on it, though the alledged CD wasn't included in "Show special"
package. Does anyone have that CD (clearly they can't restrict
copying of the GPL'ed stuff)? Or does anyone know a web address for
the original vendor (where there might be a distribution image)? I
haven't played with the modem yet, but if it turns out to be a
WinModem (shows as HSP-56 under W98) I figure maybe the mated Linux
might have had a driver.
