Hi I've now recently installed Ubuntu 7.10. I've been running Microsoft for approx 24 years, I feel I had enough of it. I like the Linux style and wants to pursue in that direction. I am a newy to Linux.. I have a problem installing my modem. I'm on a dial-up connection and are using a external modem. MODEM type = External USB MAKE = Sahara 56K USB RP (1) Product name = S9100-W Model no. = UM9100-W I am also having difficult to get the printer to work. PRINTER Make = Lexmark X2350 Machine Type-model = 4420-001 USB connection I've visit the HOWTO sites, changed from PCI to the external hoping it will work, nothing going. I'm still unfimiliar with the Linux terminology which make things a bit difficult to understand. Please be so kind and show me the way. I am just running UBUNTU on my P4 machine, to connect to the NET I must use another machine. In the MODEM folder I found 2 ModemData.txt files, the one differs by the period after the extension "ModemData.txt." and the contents read "Usb modem PCI ID not recognized" Thanking you in anticipatation. Edward (linux newy)
