Re: [PLUG] Modem Buys

Find a modem with a Lucent chip (yes, a WinModem) and it should work 
with minimal effort. I have one in my laptop (mini PCI) and it works 
very well.
The best modem that I've ever used is a 56k US Robotics Sportster 
external serial modem. When I'm not sharing a connection I can switch 
it between two computers, and it can be reset with the click of a switch 
instead of a reboot. The status lights are nice, too.

From your collective experience ,which internal PCI modem

would be the easiest and less troublefree to set up on RH 7.3

From my search on the web almost every internal modem

requires quite bit of effort to set up on Iinux machine unlike
Win machines where only a few mouse clicks are required
to set up almost any new hardware.
I would like to purchase an internal PCI modem which is not
a soft/winmodem and has drivers available and built specifically
for my kernel version 2.4.18-3 and which won't require any kernel
configurations or any other tweaking of the kernel to make it
usable for dial up PPP connection.
