I need a nice PCMCIA modem for my Thinkpad that actually works on Linux, which
the freakin' built-in modem by the great Big Blue Friend of the Penguin does
not. (Yes, I am bitter and whiny, sheesh, how hard it is to use a compatible
chip fer gosh sakes. Lamerz.) I have googled and perused and am dazed and
confused. Supposedly Lucent winmodems have Linux drivers, but then I have
seen articles where they do not perform well.
Or, an external serial or USB modem that does not require a separate power
supply would work too. My power here is flaky to the extreme, so I am getting
laptop batteries and a modem so I can keep working when the power fails.
Any suggestions? thankee!
