Points well taken. I should have made it clear that I was referring to the how-to and _not_ to linmodems.org, although I could quibble about the link to Rob Clark's site at the bottom of the linmodems.org page. I'm not sure what happened there, but trying to access that site has become a real crapshoot. Sometimes it works, but most times it doesn't. >>> snip > The progress since those days is phenomenal, even though certain > manufacturers do not support linux on their modems.

Again, you're correct. I understand that some current distrubutions not only indentify some winmodems during the installation process but also configure them. (I'm not sure if Fedora does this or not.) -- cmg
