We must live on different planets. None of the five working Desktop/laptop computers I have at home, or the machines in my in-house server rack: http://robertwittig.net/workshop.html ...have any sort of built-in telephone dial-up modem, not Linux, not UNIX, Not Windows 2000, Vista or Windows 7, on my netbook. I DO have a drawer-full of of dial-up modem cards in my spare parts drawer... I used to need them, before ethernet became common... mostly the US Robotics Sportsters, which are hardware modem cards, and are Linux friendly... just plug the card into a slot, plug the phone jack into the card, start the computer, and, assuming you already have a compatible 'send-expect' script in play, you are good to go on-line. -- http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [email protected] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
