If you are interested in hardware modems, most hardware modems will work with Linux. As for where to get one. Just plug in 'hardware modem' in to google. Pricegrabber usually does a good job. Or you could go to ebay. For about $20 you can get the modem delivered to your door (if you are in the US). As for which one to get, any serial modem is fine, stay away from USB modems. As for how to setup the modem with your particular distro, you are on your own, as I have not much distro experience. Usually the forum for your particular distro will help you out. With Mandriva I think you should be able to use KPPP, as I use KPPP in PCLinuxOS, which is based off mandriva. Best of luck. PS: Please reply back to the forum and not to me... -- Syed
