2 Very Short Questions

[Bambi]

1: Are all serial external modems hardware modems and so are guaranteed to work with linux?

2: Does the latest Enlightenment require Gnome or will it work on its own?

Thanks

Yes, external modems are hardware modems. That's why they cost more. However, if you want a good internal modem, I recommend the 3com 2977 PCI modem. Works flawlessly.

As far as enlightenment goes, it will work on it's own or with gnome. Gnome is not required.

external modems rule!!!

when i first got into pc's i like internal modems cause they are cheaper, but with age comes experience (or is it the other way around :confused: whatever)

anyway, it is worth the money for an external modem - they way 'mo betta!!!
