Ummm... I don't want to split hairs, but Persius is spelled Perseus.  :-)

Subject: [SWLUG] Modems


Having now got my network up and running (today I plugged Zeus (SME Linux),
Aphrodite (NT4) and Persius (Win 98) into the hub for the first time and
switched them all on), it seems to me that the next logical extension will
be to put a modem onto Zeus and to take the modem off Persius.
 
Now, my big question is: somebody advised me to use an external modem. I
quite like an internal modem. Which is better? More to the point, will Linux
handle any modem or are there specific modems to use? Also, how on earth do
I tell a modem to dial and to hang up, from Persius or Aphrodite?
 
Incidentally, does anybody want any ISA cards? I have some spare. I have one
that takes extra memory cards so you can put 3 extra lots of PC133 onto a
system that already has the maximum plus a spare fax modem (Rockwell
chipset).
