I don't know yet because I am shopping for a laptop. I have read about IBM, Dell, and Toshiba laptops as being somewhat more compatible. One of the problems is that even within a model series different sub-components change causing conflicts -- not to mention the huge variations from model to model and brand to brand. It makes it a difficult challenge unless one can find a vendor who will sell a laptop loaded and tested with all of the desired accessories. I am asking all of these questions because I wasted a year trying to get a HP Omnibook to run properly under Linux -- went through several distros and none worked properly. I have a maximum of $1500. to spend, including accessories. doc On Sun, 2003-06-08 at 20:30, Warren Togami wrote: > On Sun, 2003-06-08 at 14:33, Colburn wrote: > > If I presume that trying to get the stock winmodems to play nice, due to > > the absence of drivers, can they be removed or cleanly bypassed? > > > > What is the best substitute modem?
