Very Computer

Hi,

I need to find a compatibility list for 56k modems, so that I can go
buy one.  My wonderful internet-bought computer didn't have a
compatible graphics card (ATI Rage Pro 128gl) so I bought the XiG
server to make it work (works great).  Now I find that I've definitely
got a Winmodem - it doesn't work either.  It's time to pull my head
out of the sand and research before I buy - saves time AND money.
I've searched a few places already, but haven't hit a definitive list
yet for hardware - mainly searched thru the Redhat site.  Actually I
just bought the Cheapbytes Mandrake 6.0 CD and it wouldn't install
(got to the end and keeps*), so I've gone back to RH5.1 for
now.  

My brother-in-law says to buy a US ROBOTICS 56K internal modem,
although my first impulse was to go ahead and get an external one.
Any advice, or pointers to hardware compatibility lists??  

Thanks,

Chip Rose.

never mind - I found the modem compatibility lists - bravo to the
author of this very extensively researched webpage.  In great detail
for model numbers and manufacturers, it shows "WM" for winmodems, and
"OK" for linux-compatible modems.
