I have been following this thread because a friend has an external RS-232 modem on his Linux desktop. We have been trying to get this going under Gutsy for a few weeks now. I will try the suggestions made in this thread. When we have worked it out then I'll write up a HOWTO and post it to the wiki.
I set up two friends with an old computer, external modem (RS232) and Ubuntu 7.04, and got them to use wvdial to connect. Both are going fine, as far as I'm aware. All both users needed was a cheap system to give them email and the ability to view most attachments. Ubuntu gives them a nice consistent system, free from any surprises (I hope!) Michael
