[lug] Selecting MODEM for Linux

[Bonnell, Doug]

I have had good luck with Best Data also. Currently running one of their
33Kb cards, PNP.

I just recently purchased a Jaton Modulator from EggHead. It's PNP or
jumper, price was
about $45 plus shipping.

I put my setserial in rc.local....

Regards,

Doug Bonnell
