Sorry, I haven't a direct answer to your question, only a warning: |
| 17 |
check that the supposedly external modem is a real external hardware |
| 18 |
modem. There's a few around which in reality are software winmodems |
| 19 |
in-a-box. You plug them in and then spend a lot of time wondering why |
| 20 |
it doesn't work. :-@ |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
Googling around once you set your eyes on a particular USB modem usually |
| 23 |
provides some useful clues. |
