i've got a lucent winmodem at home, it works just fine with linux. even faster than in windows.
Just make sure you've got EXACTLY the right specs for your modem, and get your package with exactly the right kernel version (that is, if you'd go for a precompiled package where i got my modem drivers, rpmfind.net)
lazygamer:
While were talking about modems under Linux...
Do you HAVE to have a Linux driver made by your modem's company to make it work under Linux? If not, is it possible that one distro might be able to set up your modem if another distro can't?
Also im refering to internal ADSL modems, not dialup. Oh and there's no such thing as a "ADSL winmodem" right?

Not if it's an external DSL modem which is what I suggested. I would *never* have an internal cable/DSL modem. I have many machines and a network and would rather have an external device. And with an external ethernet device you have no compatibility concerns.

Thanks for all the info. You people have really helped me understand this modem stuff alot better.
I am going to get ADSL. This way I will solve two problems at one time.
Thanks Again!
