I’ve so far had success with just two flavours of Linux!! For what it’s worth, it’s a Netcomm something or other, using a Lucent/Agere chipset. The biggest problem I’ve also had, is getting them to play nicely with my WinModem. Much like the way 3d cards took a while to take off, on account of the respective vendors not releasing the code & being somewhat tardy in their effort to do Linux drivers. To be entirely honest, I’d be a little surprised if it was a matter of Microsoft not playing ball - I’m a little more inclined to think it’s a matter of the modem manufacturers not being prepared to share code that’s the problem. From Solaris to Suse to Fedora to Puppy to blah, blah, blah. I’ve got about 12 different distros of Linux. Uh-huh, been there done that, bought the t-shirt. I’d like to use Linux but if I can’t get it on the internet than it’s a non-starter.
