I think it is for this modem: http://eciadsl.flashtux.org/modems.php?lang=fr&modem=17 can anyone confirm that? is this the Rotal modem mentioned in hetz howto? I want a free modem! (free=hinam..., and I know what that means, my box will not be up 24/7...) hetz: in penguin.org there is only a source code. please upload also the rpm (and deb when available). now hear (was kinda funny): i called yes to ask which modems do they give, and the *not* cure chick (which could barly read nor distinguish a pc and a microwave) said: pci and usb. I sayd cool, which companies. so I said again which companies, she said again pci and usb. i tried to explain her that I dont have windows installed so she told me to install xp.... at that point i asked her to call support and ביום ראשון 19 ינואר 2003, 14:01, Hetz Ben Hamo כתב: > > I would like to know the status of adsl usb modems, (which ever models > > actcom gives out this days).
