From: Mike on 4 Sep 2005 06:40 Is there any PCI modems that will just work with a stock debian sarge kernel 2.6.8? Like does newegg sell any modems that will just work without a huge hassle of tracking down a driver or some add-on crappy binary from some company who doesn't want to open the source to their obsolete analog modulation technology? I just want to plug it in and be able to use it on a PCI bus given my kernel version and the fact that it is debian stock. I don't care what the price is. http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Subcategory.asp?Subcategory=18 I just need it to pop up callerid for mythnotify and I have zero experience with analog modems on linux past knowing that almost none of them work because they are winmodems. P.S. I already know about the linmodems website....... You don't need to reply with the link to it telling me to go there. A simple, 'get this one', with a link to newegg will suffice Thanks! -Mike -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

And perform much better, probably too. Perhaps the original poster should explain his motivation for requiring an internal PCI modem? Dave. -- Please don't CC me on list messages! ...

I've used it and recommended it many times. It's pricey, but it performs well and is wel suported. If I didn't have my external Courier vEverything, that's the modem I'd use. -- ....Rob Return address is obfuscated.

They're fairly pricey but it's worth the money. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmaster(a)lists.debian.org |
