I had realised earlier with the help of people on this list that the
modem that came with my machine was one of the many "WinModems". So, I had
to continue using Windo$e.. till maybe now.. I have obtained a US
Robotics External modem from a friend. But it says on the modem that its
for Macintosh. Does that mean anything? Secondly, it connects to my
serial port (which is not a problem with me as my mouse can goto the COM
port), but will that work on Linux?
I have no idea how I must set a modem up in Linux and get to a point where
I can start to telnet atleast and till I am able to do that I will not be
able to use Linux. Can someone point out places where I will find info on
how I can connect to the world with Linux?
Thanks for your time,
