I think I may be forced to use a 56K dialup modem when I'm in the UK next month. I have not used Linux with dialup in some years now. I did at one time, and still have a heavy old "real" 3Com external 56K modem, but I'd prefer to just use my laptop's internal modem.First, what type of laptop are you using? You might be able to find a 'real' PC Card modem, like the USR (3COM) that I have. If you cannot do this, you should visit the Linux on Laptops web page.
How do I get started with dialup in Fedora Core 3? Does it have a capability for dialing UK freephone numbers like '0800 1234 5678901'?
You may have to get a modem in the UK due to legal requirements. Some of our UK members might be able to give assistance with this.
