Dear Sir,
Had you taken the time to look down to the THIRD result supplied by
Google, not just the first, out of the "about 139,000", you might have
perhaps moderated your style, As author and maintainer of the third site
quoted, I did feel deeply insulted by your "comments".
It is good network etiquette that sites authors supply their address at
the bottom of the site main page.
Had you looked down until the bottom of the page which you studied, you
might have seen an address for your remarks, without the need to insult
a whole community of volunteers who work for many people, yourself
included along with many others.

sorry, i was thinking of http://www.linmodems.org/ home page - the very
first result that pops up to the aforementioned Google query.
what i mean is that about half the links are dead, the page NEVER
mentions the 2.6 kernel, but does have information on the 2.2 kernel
(which i feel has been around since before i was born). It has links to
"mandrake" drivers before it was renamed to mandriva, and while i was
first introduced to *nix systems while i was in the 7th grade (that was
2002-2003), i never remember seeing a version of RedHat that was 6.2 as
is mentioned on that webpage. In fact I thought that the first release
of RedHat started at 7-something just because the developers felt like
it. In fact, i get the impression that that page was written before
dial-up was invented by some psychic who could gaze into the future
BEFORE the internet was invented. I would even believe it if someone
told me that Noah himself wrote that page while he was stuck in the ark
during the flood.
sorry for the rant, I had to get it out. By the way, I posted the new
results of the SCANMODEM tool for 3 different modems I have on the
discuss thread as you told me to. Also, you told me in a previous email
that i wasted 40 cents burning openSuse, which made me sad :( . Whats
wrong with it? Should I try fedora? I want something big so i don't have
to worry about dependencies.
many thanks!

Dear D.C. someone23.
Centuries ago, even until 1989, there were no Web pages at all.
But since, the number of Web pages is growing very fast.
Google, for example, queried for linmodems, supplies "about 139,000"
results.
It would thus save us, volunteers, a LOT of time, if you could supply
the URL which you found not updated in centuries: just think of the
time it would take one of them to check "about 139,000" pages in order
to help you?
