<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>This is my first time posting on the PLUG mailing
list. I've just installed a dual-boot system with Windows XP and Mandrake 9.1
about two days back. Everything went along fine the first time I installed it.
But then Linux couldn't detect my internal modem in my laptop. So I checked my
modem's website for drivers, but it seems they only support Windows platforms,
and not any other OSes. And my laptop doesn't have any serial ports, only USB
ports. Does anyone know how I can overcome this problem? I've tried looking for
USB-based modems with Linux compability, but haven't had any luck so far. Does
anyone know where I can purchase an USB-based modem with Linux compability? If
not, will it be possible to use a USB to Serial Adapter... as in will Linux
recognise it? Thanks in advance for any information. Really appreciate it.
