Please don't go around promoting OS-dependent hardware :). They may work well _now_ for you, but but those drivers are a PITA to maintain, keep up-to-date, and you have sometimes have to wait for quite a while to get them working with the newer kernels. They also work via source code wrappers around manufacturers' binary modules, which can cause more problems in the future. Plus, they only work with Lucent WinModems, which are by no means the only WinModems around. There are plenty of other manufacturers who make WinModems too. (This may have changed the last time I had a look at them, though.) -- #ozone/algorithm <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - trust.in.love.to.save -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
