A friend of mine was using a classical serial modem on FC7 that I configured, but it broke. He has bought the one in the subject..... I found that apparently there are drivers from linuxant that are free only for speeds around 14kbit/s... while the full version will cost around 20 US$... No other chances? In case I will say him to change suddenly the modem with another one during the 7-days free giveback. In that case what would be an affordable solution for linux / fc7 nowadays? It is years that I'm using ADSL and don't know modem situation support. I found several sites regarding acrunner for usb ADSL modems and copying the firmware in /lib/firmware... do these apply also to usb modems? Thanks in advance Gianluca
