I finally got the internal modem (PCtel 2304 WT v.92) working on my Dell C840 and my wife's i8500 but the performance is less than stellar and the modmes have nasty tendency to get stuck in screwy state necessitating a reboot. This is not good. I'm considering going to a USB modem instead. Anyone have any experience (or horror stories) to shares on the subject? Price is important but I've seen some for as little as $40. From what I've read, USB modems are "real" modems with the USB replacing the serial cable on traditional external modems. If true, it would be a better solution than the $&^%ing winmodem I'm trying to use now. -- Stephen Carville http://www.heronforge.net/~stephen/gnupgkey.txt ------------------------------------------------------------------ Right wing socialists hate privacy as much as left wing socialists hate guns. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
