yes, his name is mario and he lives just down the street from here... :-) As for the Modem, externals are really no config.. linux conf has a modem detect that creates a symlink that links /dev/ttysX to /dev/modem and thats most of your config done there.. As for the internals, I have had some success with non PNP isa cards, but you would very likely find an external easier to get sorted. On another note, I have just "bought" my first linux distro,, I have been using links for many many years, but always got it from somewhere, never paid for it before.. but I just lashed out and preordered/prepaid 165 odd bucks AU for Mdk8.1 powerpack,,, I am sorta excited... :-) hopefully I will soon make a flawless leap from mdk7.2 and 2.2kernels to 8.1 and 2.4 on all our servers... (thats why I didn't swap with mdk8, we worry about major new releases on first versions....) wooohoooo!!!! not as good as buying shares in mandrake I supose, but at least I am supporting the movement. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of etharp Sent: Friday, 21 September 2001 7:01 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Need a cheap non-Winmodem I don't think you are gonna find a cheap OR a pci modem that does not require any configuration. you might look at e-bay and find an old 28.8 external cheap, and an external requires LESS config than PCI. I want a pizza maker that spits out a pizza on nights that i am to tired to fix dinner, without me having to even open the box or tell it I am tired too, and I want it to have the correct popings when the pizza is done,,, know where I can get one of those? <grin> On Friday 17 August 2001 18:10, you wrote: > Anybody know of a "cheap" PCI non-winmodem supported by kernel > 2.2.xxxx? > While I'm at it, how about for 2.4.xxx? > > I've been to http://...../~gromitkrc and linmodems, but can't make > a suitable choice. > > I want one that configures itself...doesn't make me have to load any > modules. > > TIA. > > __________________________________ > www.edsamail.com ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/plain; name="message.footer" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Description: ----------------------------------------
