It isn't a question of compatibility with a distro but rather a question of compatibility with Linux itself. I would recommend taking a list of modems w/ you to a flea market, electronics graveyard or what have you and finding a used modem. Is there any local media that has used pc components where you live? They are very common- it just needs to be a hardware modem. Some software modems do work with Linux but AFAIK most any hardware modem should work. As long as it's a 56k hardware modem you should be good to go right?

**cowmamba** · 07-24-2003, 09:21 AM

the modem that imm looking at is the next to the last
USR5610B 56K Performance Pro Modem (US Robotics) http://linuxcompatible.org/compat.ph...sort=All&idx=u
it is listed as it is compatible with linux and no we dont have (local media places around here nor flea markets that often and if there is any flee markets here they dont have computer stuff ushualy realy stupid stuff that doesent amount to anything well i dont know imm just about ready to throw all of them in the trash and say screw it imm sick and tired of it thanks though i just cant see that anything is going to help i mean like we dont have any places that sell used computer components and stuff i am how ever going to go to bestbuy tommarow well toda because it's 3:22 am but imm going to check and see what they got i looked on there site but i cant find what imm looking for that i dont realy know what im looking for so a hardware based modem ok that modem that i have been talking about i think it is but it says that it's linux supported if you look at the next to the bottom one youll see it well thanks

Basically dude, the simplest way to have a modem that works with linux, unix, BSD, QNX, BeOS etc... in fact, anything... is to buy a proper modem.

by a proper modem i mean an EXTERNAL modem that runs from one of the serial ports (NOT USB!!!) on your computer.

The internal modems (ISA excluded) almost always use some of your processor power to do the job that they should be doing.

You'll get a more reliable conection, and the ability to run any operating system without worries.

£29.00 in UK buys you a decent V92 external modem, why waste money on an internal jobby?

as a side note, internal modems also will increase the heat inside the case of your computer, external ones are a nice foot warmer in winter
