[Sheflug] Linux on me laptop :)

["Neil R Porter" <xxxxx [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All

I want to put Linux on my laptop, because I've finally just had it with
my decision to use Micros**t as my desktop OS and only running linux on
my server.  I also think that now is as good a time as any to make the
move with all the lovely new goodies available (Open Office reaching 1
etc.).

However, I'm assuming I can get it all to work (inc my internal LAN, I
hope!), except for my internal modem.  I have an 'Acer Aspire 1400' and
want to buy an external USB modem to use with it when I'm on the move
(although I'm usually just sat here plugged in to my LAN).

Question is, can anyone recommend a small external USB 56K modem that is
known to work with linux?  Also, any other information that people think
might be useful for me to consider before I make the jump would be
welcome.  I'm intending to use Mandy 8.2 btw.

Thanks in advance.

Neil
