Re: Ubuntu 6.06 on IBM T30 and modems



In <ehpqjs$3io$1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Chris:

[Snip...]

in linux (internal) modems are a very hit and miss affair

A winmodem balks? IMO get a legit PCMCIA card, and get on with life, viz:

Operating Systems:
Windows 98 and above
Mac OS 7.1 or above
Linux

IME worth the money unless you LIKE tufts of hair cluttering your laptop.

Ethernet is far more straight forward - google is your friend

I agree--there seems much better NIC than modem Linux support, generally.

IME again: PCMCIA, if any onboard NIC isn't seen, straight outta the box.

(Another benefit using PCMCIA cards: they'll work on almost any hardware)
