Hi there
As you can guess, I'm new to this forum (and to Ubuntu/Linux).
I have broadband, and a ADSL 504 usb modem. I've disabled the internal 56k
(dial up) modem in the bios, and plugged in the USB modem to a USB port. I
need to get UBUNTU(Linux) to recognize my modem - it doesn't.
Is it because I haven't got the relevant drivers for MY particular modem???
I've used the modem before on a Windows XP system, with a broadband (up to
8/mbits ) connection, and connected fine. As you see I've run 'scanModem'
and attached 'ModemData.txt' so you can see for yourselves - and make sense
of what's going on.
Another question is: If I were to attach a wireless USB adaptor (Netgear
WG111) would Ubuntu automatically pick up my Netgear router, enabling me to
connect to the internet????
Hope you can help, I've just joined the Ubuntu community ('Newbun).
Looking forward eagerly to your reply.

ps: Since I've installed Ubuntu 7.04, I like the look and feel of
it....just need to get onto the net, to make full use of the system
