Just for information

the new ubuntu doesnt support many dialup internal modems
you have to compile a driver for it it would be a rough job for a newbie

yes you are right, its probably because dialup modems are probably not used by any of the developers... I dont actually know many people who use dialup modems... (internal ones that is, I guess lots of people who use adsl have to "dialup").

That's interesting, Davy.  The main reason I haven't yet switched to linux is because of the difficulty I would have hooking up to the internet through my ISP, AOL.  If you hear any more, do let us know :) .

gilld tthere is a link here in the linux section for peng

it allows  connections to linux from aol

dont forget you will probably have to usee an external modem

the only internal i could ffind was a usrobotics 5610 internal that would work
