ok...may I know if I want to install a modem for example a Aztech 56K external modem into a existing FC2 box (without the VMware) ? How do I install the driver? As I don't FC2 will auto detect like windows and I don't think Aztech has the modem driver for linux. Can FC2 detect USB modem ?? --- Clay Lambert <clay@xxxxxx> wrote: > I concur...
