Re: Can Ubuntu handle winmodems?

By "pilot" do you mean "driver"?  I had to read this a few times before I caught your meaning.  Sometimes I'm slow.

If it is not possible or if no pilot exists, you might invest in a cable

have a serial port and no pilot available for it's winmodem (one
existed, it was fit for 2.2 kernel and was described as functionning
averagely bad, then I decided to try, but the link was dead... )

Winmodem pilots have to be fit to the kernel. Kernels versions run
faster than winmodem pilots.
I don't know the correct word for this cable. It's fit for this use.
It is very cheap, too and most efficient, with an easy to run procedure
(with ipmasq on the gateway, I even ran it several days in a row with
Knoppix running the gateway... ).
