Your options seem to be: * Yell at Dell for selling you a laptop with poor Linux support. * Replace the modem card in your laptop with a better-supported one. This is possible on some IBM Thinkpads, at least. My wife's X20 came with a 3Com 56K minipci paperweight that I swapped out for a supported Lucent modem. I don't know if this is possible on your Dell. * Pay Linuxant their fee. * Use the crippled drivers Linuxant provides for free and live with it. * Use a PCMCIA modem. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Charles Taylor <tomalek@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> * Chemistry instructor / Mad scientist / Linux enthusiast! -------------------------------------------------------------------- * Web: http://home.mindspring.com/~charletiv/ --------------------------------------------------------------------
