I haven't tried on my Fedora installations, but those modems do work brilliantly with Ubuntu (better than Windows). It might be easier to just use an Ubuntu LiveCD if you just need a quick-fix for a couple of days. Then you can sort out the real problem when you have full Internet. -- Bring choice back to your computer. http://www.linux.org.au/linux -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
