Hi Will, Go to: http://www.linuxdoc.org/ Look under the "howtos" link you will find everything you want there. There's a howto on hardware, and modems is one of the chapters. It will have a list of compatible modems. Good rule of thumb is that anything that isn't win$ and is hayes compatible should work fine. That's one nice thing about Linux, if you want docs, you can get them in triplicate and all three copies will be accessible! Ann P. -- Ann K.
