Hi there, I don't know if it is the right or not list but any way most internal and external modems are supported by Linux with only one exception don't use a so cold "WINMODEM" I will take risk and say that all external brand name modems will answer your needs without need of external drivers USB is an other case if you bay a preloaded system again I don't see any problem, it will appear if the USB controller is not supported by Linux RedHat ES as far that I know it is not the case with DELL. Regarding Paging sorry I don't know.

I'm very new to red hat, and Linux in general. My background is Windows and Solaris. I am ordering a Dell server w/ RedHat ES on it, for an opensource monitoring package (Big Brother). I'll need a modem on it to do dial-out paging. Does anyone have any experience with this? Will an external US Robotics serial modem work. How about USB? Are the drivers included in RedHat or will I need to get them from US Robotics. How about paging software? I dont think Big Brother comes with it, so I'll have to fire off an external script?
