modems

[pnuts]

can any one recomend a 56K dialup hardware modem that works under linux?

Any Zoom external you can get your hands on.

My old Supervoice 56k external is still going (after 6 years of highly reliable service). If u can find one, they're solid as a rock

Any external modem will do - I got a cheap Jetway modem, but it works fine.

If you're desperate for internal modems, then either get an old ISA (except not USR Sporster Winmodems) if you can, or check the listing at http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html

I took JohnT's advice and bought a Zoom V.92 External Modem, Model 3049-00-04 C
It was $69.99.

Works great.

Connected it to the Com1 port, discovered that that corresponds to /dev/ttyS0, and linked /dev/modem to that, ln -s /dev/ttyS0 /dev/modem. Ding. There it was.

Good for you. You won't regret it. BTW the Zoom has a 7 yr warranty.
