Thanks for the info.  I'm currently running Mandrake Linux 4.0 on my
Laptop and can't get my PCMCIA modem to work.  Thats why I asked about
the winmodem cuz I figured that was the problem.  (Mandrake isn't my
usual choice, I usually use Slakware, but I couldn't get that working
properly on my laptop, and I heard that mandrake Xwin setup was
easier..)

Thanx again.
Blah
