Hi All,

I'm new to using Linux.
Can someone please explain to me what is meant by a 'winmodem'?
What is different about it from non-winmodems?  
I have a serial modem at home. It works with windows (does that make it a
winmodem?) and linux.

Regards,
        Bryce Stenberg.

[  Ignorance use to be bliss (but not when trying to make a Linux install
work as expected - maybe I was mislead by the media - got the impression
that linux was at the point of ease of use that if you could install windows
os you'd find it just as easy to install linux os. -the install was easy but
getting everything running afterwards is no where near easy. :(    ]
