First of all I do not use a winmodem. I went to a computer store and out of the 50 different modems they had, 1 was compatible with linux. Its a driverless ISA modem. After a couple of hours I just all of the sudden get disconnected and when I try to reconnect the modem doesnt work. I have to restart to get it to work again. Second I am sick of linux users blaming their problems on hardware. Do you ever think the software could be to blame?
