I don't think this is a win modem. Linux uses ppp and some other files to connect to dail up and unless somebody has gone over this with a stand alone box or lap top using a PCIMCI card I'm going to have to figure it out for myself. I normally have dailers only on router/firewall boxes. Like LRP or Freesco and I already have the LAptop running on the network. I just want the ppp setup for a standalone if anyone has done it before. Thanks. -- Aloha! Al Plant -Webmaster http://hawaiidakine.com Providing FAST DSL Service for $28.80/mo.
