hmm.. Linux.. I dual boot 2k and Redhat 7.2, but my 56k modem doesn't
work with the linux so that quickly put an end to using it as my main os

Is it a WinModem? they don't work on Linux I had Rockwell
Modems when I had win95 they weren't any good, one of them
had tiny white buttons in the back of the card to adjust the
IRQ manually I had to use a tweezer if I didn't want the hassle of opening
the case, another Rockwell died when I bought a brand new
computer...... External dialup Modems are better because
don't have to open the case if some dust gets on the card or anything.
Sorry to be offtopic.
