Please note the latest release of Debian is 3.0 (code-named Woody). However, there is no guarantee that your winmodem is supported under Debian 3.0 let alone ANY current distribution or version of Linux. Winmodems are notoriously hard to support under Linux due to their manufacturer's unwillingness to release information about them to the public domain. Your best bet is to check <http://www.linmodems.org/> to see if it is possible (and how) to get it working under Linux, or better still, buy an external serial (or USB as long as it's not a winmoden) as they definitely work in Linux. If you need anymore help, please send contact <debian-user@lists.debian.org> (-project is not a technical support list), <http://www.debianhelp.org> or ask in #debian on irc.debian.org. Good luck, Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- * Andrew 'Netsnipe' Lau Computer Science & Sturep, UNSW * * "apt-get into it" Debian GNU/Linux Packager * * <netsnipe(+)debianplanet.org\0> <alau(+)cse.unsw.edu.au\0> * * GnuPG 1024D/2E8B68BD 0B77 73D0 4F3B F286 63F1 9F4A 9B24 C07D 2E8B 68BD * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
