Re: Modem driver



Karl, that's not correct about not having drivers for
winmodems for the Linux OS. Maybe Ubuntu doesn't have
them but Conexant(hope spelling is right) does for
most. I've used my built in winmodem for dialup on
several computers and versions of Debian and Ubuntu
from the time I first started using linux. I stopped
using dialup when broadband became available in my
area about two yrs. ago. Sure, they may be 3rd party
drivers but they work.

only have dial up.
Can anyone help?

Many thanks.



Sorry but no drivers for WIN modems. They are
made cheap and use the
Windows cpu and memory to work. That is why they
work with only Windows.

Buy a modem that plugs into a USB port. That
will also work with Linux.
