Re: [Plug] PnP or non-PnP modem?

["Nicolai Rosen" <laktar@hotmail.com>]

Personally I prefer non PnP in Win & Linux. If the PnP has jumpers as well, 
then go for it, but it can be a pain to set them up in Linux. It's not 
extremely involved or anything, but it can get on your nerves and if you 
dual boot Win could mess w/ the PnP settings and make the modem not work 
under Linux (the Linux PnP hack isn't able to actually setup a PnP device 
yet, but merely use it).
