Re: [Plug] New Modem--Troubleshooting help Needed
|
so if this modem wasn't a winmodem...all I would have to do to get it to work
under linux is plug it in and make sure that /dev/modem points to the correct
place...and dial away correct??
No where on this box does it say that it is a winmodem..and the web site
doesn't say that as well..or at least my eyes chose to ignore it!!!
I had a fishy feeling...oh well...a $20 mistake after a rebate :-)
