Thank for the info. Of course the question of binary-only drivers should not decide whether 2.4.x kernels should be in etch or not. One only gets very frustrated about the risk of not being able to use the built-in modem any longer. Apparently, according to Francesco P. Lovergine , the latest version of hsflinmodem (5.03.27) was not free at all, it was a beta. Can anybody confirm this, since both 5.0327lnxbeta and 5.0327 versions exist... Lets forget about these winmodems (installed in many laptops) and their support for Linux (I will never pay the $15 for getting the highest speed, it's not about money but principles. I wonder how many people really do pay for such software...) Can anybody advice me what to buy as a replacement, an PCMCIA modem or an USB modem. Of special interest is of course Linux support. Then we can all drop the 2.4.x kernels, including me .. ;-) Svante -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
