Sorry for the late reply dude, But -
I've heard that Linux doesn't support internal modem ....
It is not ENTIRELY true. TO explain in layman terms Many internal modems actually do not have all the hardware that is present in external modems. Most of the hardware is simulated by drivers supplied by vendors, and these vendors do not provide drivers for linux. Such modems are winmodems. Most (and some external) internal modems fall in this class and hence wont work with linux.
If yes why ?
U may ask, windows has those drivers, (inbuilt and it autodetects the modem, so not from vendor) then why does Linux not have them - Most of the vendors do not provide all modem specs needed to build a driver. How windows gets them, we dont know. And yes, Linux has support for many, if not all internal modems (win modems) I myself use an internal winmodem and have it running smooth under linux. But U will have to do some digging. Get the fcc number of your part, or look up ur manual, see what chipset the modem has and look for drivers written for that chipset. Mine uses pctel, and I have found drivers for it... Search and u will find. Go google :) Bye, Surya __ __ |__ |__| |/ __|urya |rakash |\ompalli
