Mike Douglas Posted December 24, 2003 Share Posted December 24, 2003 well unfortunatly your stuck, ESS refuses to give out specs or release a linux driver, but 56k modems are pretty cheap now a days and a linux compatible one shouldn't be hard to find, check out http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/pci_list.html or http://www.linmodems.org before you upgrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zivan56 Posted December 25, 2003 Share Posted December 25, 2003 You would rather buy WMWare for a couple hundred dollars than dish out $30 for an external modem? :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
