Duly noted, thanks for the tip. I will soon be installing Linux on a
friend's computer. She has a dialup connection so I will have to deal
with a modem.

May I ask what PCI modem you have? Works OK now?

Thanks.

I have a U.S. Robotics 5610B. It works OK, except I'm not convinced that
it reliably, under Linux, detects the call-waiting tone and rings the phone
when a call comes in while I am using the modem. I have not updated the
firmware since I bought it, since presumably you have to be running Windows
to do that. Or maybe I could do it with a DOS floppy - I should try.

I previously had an Actiontec Call Waiting modem, which worked OK.
Then it lost its call-waiting ability and I didn't want to wait for
one to come by mail order, or I bought what was currently available in
the local stores.
