In those cases where they aren't, you can sometimes find drivers on the component manufacturer's website if they provide any drivers for Linux. Otherwise, you'll have to search for one that someone else has written, or write your own. If your modem happens to be a winmodem, there's a chance that it won't work with Linux. Look here for more information on winmodems under Linux: linmodems.org In that case, you might need to purchase an external modem that will work under Linux. __________________ oz New Members: * README *
