Hi -- I know there is blinux-list at redhat.org -- or maybe it's .net??? can't remember -- just send email to blinux-list-request at redhat.whatever and in the subject put subscribe -- i think that's the way it works. I haven't subscribed to that yet as all I wanted was to hear about speakup, as I am already familiar with much of linux. Good luck. --le ----- Original Message ----- From: "Justin Ekis" <jekis@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Saturday, January 08, 2005 9:11 AM Subject: usb modems Hey guys, first of all are there any general Linux lists? I'm not sure where else to ask this but don't know if it's really on topic here. Anyway, that will teach me not to believe Windows about my computer. It reported only one serial port, but checking the manufacturer specifications for my motherboard shows I have two. So I did what I should have done to start with and pulled the computer out to check the back. There is one port left for the m20 which leaves only one question. Are there any good USB modems that will work in Linux without proprietary drivers? I would prefer one I could get for around $60 or less. I found one very cheap but as far as I could tell it needed a special driver that isn't in the kernel. I don't want something like that where somewhere down the road it won't be supported by new kernels. That's what brought me to this point to begin with. Thanks.
