hi Bruce,
I had tried in Fedora Core 1 & 2.... does not support win modems.
Since, ADSL routers and stuff...... you need a NIC and LAN?
You have ADSL or broadband? If yes, use the LAN and setting router
and you are ready to go.....since fedora 8 supports many LAN chips.
thanks
regards,
Edwin Tan

A few months ago, I installed F8 and tried to set it up for

couldn't get it to connect (perhaps there were some problems

So, I re-installed F8 (formatted /, but left /home intact).
I'm _still_
have problems - and it seems to be the same issue.
I had to modify wvdial.conf to get even this far (wvdial flat

refused to work with the default, as configged by Admin >

That much probably looks good. BUT, I can't do anything!
(Actually, it
will ping, but no www access.)
Network apparently has a problem with the setup - I activate
the dialup
config, and somehow it gets deactivated.
What's going on?

I don't know if the drivers have gotten better but when I used
dial-up internet access with Linux several years ago, I had to
get an external modem that I found in the Hardware Compatibility
List (US Robotics, I think) before I could connect. I spent many
hours trying to configure several Winmodems and never succeeded.
Once I switched to a modem that was documented as being Linux
compatible, it was easy.
