Hi Steve,
Nothing personal.
Just a random yell from out in left field.....
I bought an Inspiron 7000 to make a linux laptop. I was *very* pissed
off at Dell when I found out that my modem was a winmodem and
would not run under linux. As far as I am concerned, a winmodem
is *NOT* a modem (modulation-demodulation) device. To label
this device as a modem is consumer fraud.... (and in my mind Dell
owes me a real modem).
While I do like my Inspiron, I doubt that I will buy another Dell product
because of this. Consumer trust is a fickle thing.
Cheers,
Dave Teter
