First thing you need to do is figure out how to switch to plain ascii
text when posting.
The answer to your question is, yes. :-) I would definitely consider
getting a REAL modem (preferably an external, which uses a standard
serial port, and NOT a USB modem because those can be 'winmodems' as
well) but you may be able to find drivers at www.linmodems.org. Be
aware that these are alpha-stage drivers. They work -- sort of. It
depends on a great variety of things, from the time of day, to the
weather, to the way you hold your mouth when you dial out.... Of
course, I exaggerate, but they are VERY unstable, from what I've read.
