I had an PCI Sportster 28.8 modem for a long time, and it worked great. Of course, it was ~USD80, and I looked all over the box for any hint that it was a "win" modem, and then saw "it works with Linux", and bought it. (And this was when I still used NT4. I wanted the CPU for myself, not the modem...) -- +-------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ron Johnson, Jr. Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | Jefferson, LA USA http://ronandheather.dhs.org:81 | | | | "Object-oriented programming is an exceptionally bad idea | | which could only have originated in California." | | --Edsger Dijkstra | +-------------------------------------------------------------+ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
