Very Computer

Hi

I will get ADSL service with static IPs in a couple of days.
I will be getting an external modem from  my DSL provider pacbell.
I am currently waiting for the modem to arrive.

My computer is already equipped with a Lucent
WildWire G.Lite ADSL *internal* modem.

I have RedHat 6.2 installed on my machine.

The WildWire modem has the software installed for
Windows 98.  Can I use this modem in Linux RedHat 6.2

I would like to know if anyone out there has used this
ADSL modem to successfully connect to the DSL service
provider, using Linux.

Any information regarding this is highly appreciated.

thanks,
Sri.

NO, it is one of those win-modems.
I am using Redhat 6.5.  It will not recognize the modem.

I have also found that the network card shipped with my hp 8770 is not
recognized by Linux.  For $20 I replaced it with a Linksys that is
recognized.  I still can't ping  any outside domains though.
still working on it.
