You might need to download a driver to make it work. If you gotta dnload a driver, it's not the real deal. A self contained modem will only need to be plugged into a serial port and the correct init string installed where-ever-in-the-hell you install them nowadays. It used to be a simple edit of /etc/uugetty/stty-S0 or something like that, I fergotten how in my dotage. Some gui will probably do the job, beats the hell outa me. <grins> "Ex-master of init-strings", Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
