Yep, I got a Dell PCMCIA modem at a junk sale for $12. Has worked perfectly for years whenever I have [rarely] actually needed to use an analog line. Don't forget the most often overlooked solution - your cell phone. Most cell pones can attach via a USB port, emulate a serial port, and support the Hayes command set. Every cell phone I've had I've been able to make a terminal call with (using nothing but the USB cable and minicom). -- -- Adam Tauno Williams Network & Systems Administrator Consultant - http://www.whitemiceconsulting.com Developer - http://www.opengroupware.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
