Any external modem will do the trick. As long as it's a hardware modem,
you're pretty safe. So go with external, and serial port. They are easy to
maintain, and next to NO configuration needed. The only thing you need to
configure would be the dialing software like kppp or whatever you choose.
As far as an ISP? What we have access here in the states is much different, I
do however know that Earthlink is do-able, I don't know if they have POPs in
England however.
Try doing a search at Google, or Yahoo! for London ISPs. That may bring you
something helpful. I also suggest looking in your local phone book. I'm a
big fan of local ISPs. They are normally small and have very friendly support
people. That's how I started into the IT industry, and my experience with
such companies has been very good. So give that a try.
Your local telephone company may sell access. I know AT&T is there in London,
so that means AT&T WorldNet. Which I've not tried to access via a Linux box,
but I'm sure if you have the right information, it can work.
And I believe there's Tele-House, which handle the T1's for AOLs customer base
there in London, as well as some in Manchester. However I'm not sure if they
sell dialup access. But check out those avenues.
Good luck!

| Hi everyone,
|
| I was wondering if anyone could suggest specific modems that I might be able
| to use with Linux-Mandrake 7.0 and an ISP that will support Linux, because my
| present one AOL does not. I live in London England.

| Thanks in advance.
