Many PCI modems do not work in Linux because they are "Winmodems," relying on software drivers to do most of the work. Linux drivers are available for _some_ chipsets of this type. The fact that a modem is PCI does not automatically mean it is a windmodem, although probably the majority are. I have a PCI 3Com/USR internal modem that is hardware based and works great in Linux. Read the box or the product description carefully. Your best bet for easy, trouble-free modem setup is an external model that connects to your serial port. *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.3 Professional KDE 2.2.1 KMail 1.3.1 This is a Microsoft-free computer Bryan S.
