Re: External serial modem advice ?
Be aware that although any serial modem will work with Linux, some serial
modems don't work well for any system.
I have a Hayes Accura 336/56k fax modem that mostly works well with Linux. But
sometimes the modem becomes unresponsive and the only way I can get it to work
again is to power cycle it. That happens regardless of the OS on the computer
it's connected to.
That's OK for the way I usually use it, but for an unattended server it would
be a drag. I would like to be able to log into my office network while I'm
traveling, but I can't really count on my modem working.
It's really sad to see that from a Hayes product. I have also used a Hayes
1200 (that I bought for $700!) and a Hayes 28.8, and they were both rock-solid.
Each gave years of performance without a hint of trouble.
