Never on tried using a modem on this debain box. First modem is MultiTech ZDX 19.2k bps and the second is a USR Courier v.everything 33.6k bps.
I figured pretty standard modems. I was using the USR on a NT with all the same cables, so I know the cable and modem do work. --Jay Barbee At 3/17/99 11:43 AM -0500, Person, Roderick wrote: >What kind of modems are they.
