<DIV>Thanks Ron, <BR> Ok then, I will plan on it for the next meeting if
that is ok with everyone. I just haven't had the time lately to prepare
anything. I will do an installation with a software modem, if we have
internet, show how to install LimeWire with Java (very cool) and even install
a tv tuner card, Bob Meyer really gets a kick out of those (they do rock!). If
people would like for me to do this at the next meeting, I will prepare,
please voice up people. <BR>On Sat, 2002-05-18 at 11:47, Ronald Maggio

<DIV>Well I have a Motorola SM56K winmodem on my AMD box, I was
planning to add another HDD to install Mandrake 8.? and as well a cd-rw. Now
here's where your presentation would come in handy for someone like me.
Motorola does not make modems anymore, but they have this webpage available to
download the drivers for Windows 2000 and also for Linux. (Thats how I got the
modem to work with XP) Here's the web site for the drivers. Oh I did download
the drivers for Linux. <STRONG><FONT size=2><A

<DIV>I hope to be able to install this modem for Linux as I have done for XP.
I also have a question. Have you or anyone done a dualboot with XP and
Linux with LILO or GRUB and was it a pain or easy? Anything I should know
about? Please share:) Its a nice speakerphone voice modem vary popular and
stable. I often see it still available cheep around twenty dollars. Don't ask
me what I paid a couple years ago, but it was selling for more then it going
for now! Installing it in XP was relatively easy. I would not recommend
installing it manually from safemode but let XP do an automatic installation
from safemode and your in like flint. Yes I know what is going to be said. How
come you had to install the modem in this way, and how its easyer to install a
modem in Linux is ya da ya da ya da. Well I like XP and this is the nature of
the beast and I had no misconception about XP and how to install hardware on
it. I read the compatibility information listed at M$ web site and knew what I
was getting into. I have never seen a perfect relationship between the
end user and the beast. </DIV>
<DIV>So see you fellows tomorrow.</DIV>
