<P>I've just had a quick on Ebay. No Sangomas but the folowing Conexants. Maybe I'm getting a bit neurotic but are there any I should avoid. <BR>

Amigo AMX-CA83P Conexant PCI ADSL MODEM <STRONG>Linux </STRONG>IPcop OK £22.00 £3.50 9d 02h 23m <BR>

Is there a shop in Kent that knows Linux? My local shops are very good - they let me bring stuff home to test it but I've got through their entire stocks of modems and routers.<BR>

There is also a possibility its got a connexant chip, where the CnxADSL<BR>
driver may work, although I can't be sure, try looking into tigris<BR>
connexant and speedtouch, you will have to rebuild your kernel, this<BR>
isn't particularly difficult but it is a pain and takes a while, however<BR>
I would suggest getting a better (supported) modem. I would recommend<BR>
the Connexant ADSL PCI and the Sangoma Wanpipe S518, both are PCI cards,<BR>
and neither require the kernel to be rebuilt as they compile as loadable<BR>
modules (sangoma builds into RPM and I have chkconfig and SPEC patches<BR>
which you may need). The connexant is cheap, the sangoma is pricey,<BR>
however the sangoma has line watchdog, which makes it very stable.<BR>
<BR>
<FONT color=red>> NOTE: the package can be used only as an integral part of the Linux</FONT><BR>
<FONT color=red>> kernel source tree, thus the kernel license terms apply to it.</FONT><BR>
<BR>
Thats a bullshit line, they've hacked up a driver failed to release it<BR>
GPL and submit it to <A href="javascript:top.opencompose('patches@kernel.org','','','')">patches@kernel.org</A> so they're inheriting the<BR>
license because they're cucking flueless. <BR>
<BR>
Gotta love the relationship between hardware manufacturers and linux,<BR>
linux is just too communist for them I recon. ;)<BR>
