RE: minicom for modem in FC2

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



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 ??
