Hmm forgot to mention that I'm looking for an *external* modem and it should
be PCI, I already bought a ISA USR56K modem internal() and put it on my old
P1 computer but it didn't work.
Unfortunatly I *don't* have a ISA bus (bus right ?) on my newer PC...

The reason I need a new modem is because I am currently using SM56K
modem with motorola driver that works *only* in RH7.1 so I bought
7.2 for nothing (just installed few packages from the disk but they had
problems...) and I'm interested to buy RH7.3 now but I know that it
won't work (I think the kernel is responsible for this) and even if I 
won't install the new kernel I will have problems too.

BTW do you think the ext3 fs should stop me from using the modem too
        except from the kernel ?

Thanks !

The abortion rights and gun control debates are twin aspects of a deeper
question --- does an individual ever have the right to make decisions
that are literally life-or-death?  And if not the individual, who does?
