Re: Modems for Linux?

Hi!

Thanks for all those replies! I had checked Google infact, but
although I found a lot of pages linking to other pages that supposedly
contained a list of linux compatible internal PCI modems, all those
links turned out to be dead. Finally I did stumble upon a SuSE
hardware database (that link too was dead, but I went to the SuSE site
and searched there) ... but too didn't really get much results.

Yup, had checked Linmodems and tried to get my existing modem to work
with Linux. Its one of those ESS chipset modems, and seems there was a
way to make it work way back in the 2.2 kernel series, but nowadays it
doesn't work and is not supported anymore. Which is why I decided I am
better off buying a new modem ...

Now I'll try to find a serial modem as per the list's suggestions. :)

Thanks,
Rakhesh
