Most computers still come with a "serial" port on them, and you can still buy 56k modems that connect to the serial port... even from places like PCWorld (*shudder*). These are proper modems and *will* work with Linux. --Grant. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
