[Sheflug] Linux modem and broadband/ Redhat 9

["J Simpson V21" <hubblesimpson [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I have asked for a quote for a newer second hand machine from my computer
man.  I am also considering going broadband as it is now a lot cheaper.  I
am presently using an external dial up modem that someone loaned to me as my
internal modem doesn't work with Linux.

I will probably still dual boot as I have to access my old emails in
Microsoft Outlook.

He is just going to fit a 56k internal modem (probably a soft modem).  I
think I may as well have what I want, but my computer man doesn't know a lot
about Linux.

Please can you recommend an internal modem that works with Linux?  Can you
also recommend exactly what I would need to use broadband.

I have had several previous conversations about modems and routers?  I still
don't understand, so anything that I plug in and goes would be wonderful?  I
would need make and models.  Thank you.

Regards

Janet
