SuSe detects it, but says that it can't be installed due to no available driver. I looked at a webpage on laptops but they didn't discuss this particular issue. Someone mentioned alsa and the like, but I tried and couldn't get it to go. Think it's an enduser issue. Haven't had much time to go beyond that. Also, since the internal modem is a winmodem and so far a workable solution hasn't been come up with on the drivers a while ago, I went out and bought a pcmcia card. The card works fine, get a nice 56k speed. But what I'm after is that the card also allows me to plug into my cell phone (nokia 6162) and dial into my ISP. Anyone hear of any success on this? If so, any chance of a website that may have some info? I looked at linmodems.org and didn't see anything. The modem I bought is a Viking Components RFM56KPCNOK modem. I'm not keen on the multi dongle thing, but it's livable.
