Modems/Paging

[Grinberg, Hari]

Hi there,

I don't know if it is the right or not list but any way 

  most internal and external modems are supported by Linux
  with only one exception don't use a so cold "WINMODEM"       
  
  I will take risk and say that all external brand name modems will 
   answer your needs without need of external drivers 
 
  USB is an other case if you bay a preloaded system again I don't see
   any problem, it will appear if the USB controller is not supported 
   by Linux RedHat ES as far that I know it is not the case with DELL.

   Regarding Paging sorry I don't know.

Hello there,

I hope this is the right list, if not, please point me in the right
direction.  I'm very new to red hat, and Linux in general.  My
background is Windows and Solaris.  I am ordering a Dell server w/
RedHat ES on it, for an opensource monitoring package (Big Brother).
I'll need a modem on it to do dial-out paging. Does anyone have any
experience with this?

Will an external US Robotics serial modem work.  How about USB?  Are
the drivers included in RedHat or will I need to get them from US
Robotics.

How about paging software?  I dont think Big Brother comes with it, so
I'll have to fire off an external script?

Thanks,
Shane
