Hi Nick, I've got a Netcomm Roadster II 56 Ultra external modem I haven't used it for a few years, but it worked fine with mandrake 9.2 back then. I'm guessing it just worked or needed little configuring as I was fairly new to linux back then and I don't remember it giving me too many headaches.
Hooks up via serial cable and has a double end and will hook up to a spare printer port or the smaller serial port that desktops tend to have. I'm in the Bexley/Brighton area for a pick up or I could bring it along to the next CLUG evening Kerry On Fri, 2008-06-27 at 11:20 +1200, Nick Rout wrote: > Does anyone have a cheap/free external modem? > > I have a friend on very limited budget who needs a computer for a > course.
