guys, i need a modem that has no problems whatsoever running in linux. you guys know of any that works for real???

[horndude]

yep, get a serial modem, one that is external to the pc itself.You will need a serial modem cable to go with it

Ive got some generic one I bought from pcliquidators.com that works fine

http://www.softwareandstuff.com/NET10250.html --> this will work also

http://www.compgeeks.com/details.asp...ESS56E&cat=MDM -->this should work also

what your looking for is a HARD modem, one that has a chipset that has all the functions built in instead of a soft modem which requires software emulation for drivers, external modems have no choice but to be hard modems usually-->tough to do software emulation over a serial line

no i don't want an external modem. so i have to go with the first one, right [intel]. and u've used this one horndude and it worked??

[horndude]

ive never used it, but it will work

write down the model number then surf to redhat.com and look it up in their hardware database.....ya I know your probably not using redhat, doesnt matter, they have a pretty complete hardware listing and if it works there it will work under linux period.
