( the're literally dozens of them - some work with Linux really well, but there are many which are completely incompatible. )
That is to say: the manufacturer and the model number as a bare minimum. While the best way to find this info. is to use the script Nick spoke of, a start might be to use the Windows hardware wizard. ( or whatever terminology currently MS uses ) Please copy down the details exactly and tell us what they are. Probably the best way to get on to the Internet from linux via dial-up is to get yourself a hardware second hand external modem. They are available for about $10, now that so many people are switching over to ADSL or Cable connections. If you could tell us were you are geographically, a kind list member - of whom there are many - might be able to visit you to help you get connected. -- CS
