Post #138,926 by deSitter 1/30/04 4:41:58 PM Reply	enable COM2 and put the modem back in Most common Winmodems now have Linux drivers (this is coming from one). All the hardware should work. Do not disable anything. You must have a cheap 10bt card somewhere...if not go buy one at the junkyard for 3 bucks. -drl
Post #138,933 by orion 1/30/04 5:06:45 PM Reply	Any reason why? Why do I need a Com2? Also why do I need a modem? I got a Realtek 8029(AS) Ethernet 10bt PCI card which is as cheap as they get. The modem will be better off on a different machine so I can use Juno as an Internet backup in case my SBC goes down. Juno does not have a Linux client yet. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

Post #138,949 by orion 1/30/04 6:27:37 PM Reply	DSL Router 4 Ethernet plugs and it has wireless too. I have a hub to connect more Ethernet machines to the router if needed. I was going to go to Chicago to help my brother find a used car there tomorrow, chances are he may not want to go. I still need to study for my final exam. *"Lady I only speak two languages, English and Bad English!" - Corbin Dallas "The Fifth Element"*

That is not the commonly reported experience -NT - (ben_tilly) - Jan. 30, 2004, 04:16:38 PM EST

Tried it - (orion) - (6) - Jan. 30, 2004, 04:00:04 PM EST
