My gut feeling is that it's probably not : a big deal, but has anyone actually used one of the newer USR's with : Linux? I use one at home. I didn't risk the PnP though, as PnP doesn't work particularly well under Windows 95 either. I simply jumered the card to an IRQ and COM port and used it like any other PC card. It works just dandy. : -Paul : -- : Paul Secinaro (pss1@christa.unh.edu) : Synthetic Vision and Pattern Analysis Laboratory : UNH Dept. of Electrical and Computer Engineering
