[Techtalk] Does asterisk need a modem card?

Thanks, Conor.

I'll give it a try without.  It looks like I may need either a modem card 
or two network cards, but will see what I need once it's installed.

I did search, but couldn't find anything like those great little recipe 
cards I've run across for Linux packages on occasion.

Vonda

drivers, etc.
