Re: Modem not working
Hi,
Yeah, it's supposed to be a normal modem. I inspected the box and the
manual carefully before buying to avoid the winmodem-curse. And their
homepage (Diamond multimedia) doesn't indicate anything in that
direction, I even found a blurb where they stated that they work closely
with the Linux community. Turns out that that only applies to their
graphic cards (supposedly).
regards,
Guðmundur
