hi Gregory,, thanks for the info, i found a us robotics modem, they say it has jumpers and also they say that it does not say that it is a win modem so our guess is that it should work. i really wish that the maker would put what op systems that these modems work in. any way thanks for the help. randy On Thu, 26 Apr 2001, Gregory Nowak wrote: > If you want the modem to work with Linux, make sure that it's a hardware > modem and not a winmodem.
