An Intel HAM PCI modem is a very good option (if it is interent you are trying to achive) you can get them fairly cheeply from DSE (and DSE support linux somewhat) (that is, if you want to open the pc up and do some hardware shuffling) Cheers Andrew On Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 1:46 PM, <gmorrissey(a)kol.co.nz> wrote:

hey all

thanks for all the great information. I had a serial modem that came installed in the machine when I bought it a couple of months ago. Its a brand new computer and I couldnt get scanmodem to detect it, thats why I tried to install a USB modem instead. I can supply output of the scanmodem program if required.

Thanks all

Glenn.
