Hi

Does anybody have any experience, can recommend a good PCMCIA Modem that
is known to be compatible with Linux, so that I can get my Laptop Online
and Finally Get rid of Win 2K ( We still keeps breaking )

Thanks Rick

Have you tried getting the laptop's own modem to work? Just because it doesn't 
show up during install as a linmodem, doesn't mean it won't work. (And the 
Windows name for the modem is no predictor either, use scanmodem from the 
http://www.linmodems.org site and see if you can get it to work. Many 
previously useless winmodems in laptops now even have a simple RPM download 
available - and can work first time.

I tried to find a PCMCIA modem before finding linmodems and I failed to find 
one that wasn't just another controllerless software modem - just like the 
internal one.
