Yes. Only with a truly serial external modem, can you be assured a non-Winmodem (Winmodem being controllerless). Though the Dynex product page says: Winmodem (Controllerless) No I have very little faith in it, I have seen quite a few modems claim to not be controllerless... only to find that they classify the Main processor (The Pentium/Athlon... etc processor) to be the controller. So it is marketing that lies. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net The technology that is Stronger, better, faster: Linux
