I hate winmodems, too. That is why I have kept a dinosaur of a machine going, to run my old ISA hardware modem, and a two box LAN to connect my desktop box to it and the NET. When that box died I found someone with a box almost as old that he wanted to get rid of. That is up and running, but now the network has been down for a week and I can't get it going, so I am trying to get the winmodem up just so that I can access the Net from my desktop and not have to use this Windows laptop with an only semi-functional 'g' key. I have already been to the linmodem site and found the binary for 2.6.8. I would be happy to uprade, if I could access the Net to get the 2.6.8 kernel, but, then I wouldn't need to. I would even be willing to compile my own (even though I generally avoid it like the plague) but the site says that I need the *entire* kernel source (not just headers), which, again, I don't have and can not get access to. I can install any package that will fit on a floppy to move from the laptop to the desktop, but nothing larger. Can anyone point me to some way to get either my LAN or my modem working?
