<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#800080 size=2>It does confirm what I was starting
to think - I am going to have to get another modem in order to use RH. I
really thought at the time I bought this that it was not a soft modem. Are
there internal modems that are hard modems or do I need to go with an external
(which I would rather not do)? Thanks for the input.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I went through 4 to 5 internal modems for Red Hat
7.2 a little over a year ago, only to find out that the O/S needs a "hard
modem", not a "soft modem". I bought an external model, Best Data/fax,
56K v.92. Hooked it to COM1 and it worked fine. I noticed my
Red Hat did "see" a couple of the internal "soft modems", but they did not
work. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope that helps,</FONT></DIV>
