[Preston] Re: Modem Issues

[entwisi]

This is a Win Modem. You can get them going( I managed one on a Time
Laptop some time ago. ) but they are a pain. If you aren't adverse to
spending money there is a package available from www.linuxant.com for
IIRC $20 that will make them work. The best bet is to search Google try
this link for some
answers.http://www.google.com/search?q=Conextant+Soft+K56+Linux&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

 Also look in the Google Groups.
