Go to www.google.com and type "linux modem the-brand-name the model number" and see what comes up. (You may try it without the model number if you don't get anything.) There are several sites that list compatible modems and that describe which are true modems and which are incomplete modems "winmodems". You might also try google and type just the brand and model of your modem and see if it comes up. Generally speaking if your modem specs require a certain cpu, memory, and hdd space to operate -- you have a "winmodem", though sometimes it is hard to tell if the requirements are for the hardware or the included software package. If you go to a SAMS they sell an internal modem for $14. (approx.) that is listed as Linux compatible. I am running one and it works fine. US Robotics also sells Linux compatible modems (the box says so), Viking makes a modem that is Linux compatible (also stated in their specs), and Zoom makes an external modem that lists Linux compatability. My life is simplified with Linux by buying only hardware that specifically lists Linux compatibility -- save yourself headaches and help to force the rest to get compatible -- boycott them. IMHO, YMMV ... doc On Sun, 2003-04-13 at 17:29, Eric Sessions wrote: > So how do I determine if this is a winmodem or if it will work with Redhat 8? > > thanks, > Eric -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
