<snip> Point taken. I did not know that there were $15 lucent winmodems around for which drivers could be had free. I'd be reluctant to start off a Linux installation project in a brand new computer by pitching out one piece of crap hardware (Connexant winmodem) to install a different piece of crap hardware (Lucent winmodem). Are there any "real" internal modems any more? Or would one be better off being able to watch the status lights of an external? =====Andrew
