ubuntu cannot include all winmodem modules. a lot of them are closed source modules from the manufacturers. I don't know why Mepis can distribute it while big name firms can't. Probably something to do with open source pruity. But I guess it's legal either way. Anyone who knows why?

I'm using rightnow SimplyMEPIS 6.0 my laptop built-in modem is a smartlink chipset and It was automatically installed. Now I'm enjoying using my dial-up at home. I wonder why Ubuntu (latest version) didn't install it when I tried to test this Linux flavor.
