That sounds encouraging, if 7.10 worked for your external dial up
modems then it may work for mine :)
Tell me something please, when you connect new hardware to a Linux
system (like my external modem)should it say something like "found
new hardware", then offer driver options like windows???
When I connected this modem to Ubuntu 5.04 it never said anything
which I thought was odd, even if it didn't have a driver to run the
modem.
