To whom it may concern, I just recently received Ubunto 7.10 and installed it on a flash drive on my Toshiba Satellite Laptop, A105-S2194. I am a beginner with Linux and need help configuring my modem so that I can access the Internet. My current ISP is AOL which does not support Linux. The following is the ModemData.txt file obtained from running scanModem. However, I was wondering if configuring my modem for Ubunto will effect my ability to use AOL?
