>From my box to yours. I have a USRobotics (now 3COM?) 56k internal that
works great in Linux and Win9X. The current ones are V.90 compliant as that
is the newest standard for modem protocols. As for the NIC I am using D-Link
DE-220PCT's in 5 of 6 machines here (number 6 has a 3COM 3C509b that was
given to me). The D-Links are NE2000 compatible so you configure the card
for your preferred settings using the DOS program and
"modprobe ne io=0xXXX". This is what works for me.

Subject: which modem for linux box
After perusing Price Watch's web page, I am totally confused
as to which 56.6k internal modem to choose for my pc, which runs
S.u.S.E. 5.2 and Win95. There seem to be quite a few at
reasonable prices (i.e. under $50), but I get lost in PCI, ISA, V.90,
et.al. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I also want a
network card, and I have seen the gamut from $9.00 to <$50.00.
Same deal for me, though. NE2000, PCI ISA ad infinitum. I'm not
really sure what all of those cool-sounding acronyms mean exactly
(vaguely), so here I am.
