I used one of
the older US Robotics External (not the winmodem) modems on my T20 and
T40 without any problems. They are still available on eBay.

 <pre wrap="">A friend has a functional T20 running Win 2K, and would like to install
Linux. However, for one remote vacation spot, he must use dial modem
for internet access.

My recollection is the internal modem is a "winmodem" and will be
"no worky" with Ubuntu. Is that correct?

If so, what plug-in modem (USB or serial) is recommended for Linux?

Thanks in advance

Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to fight, he'll just kill you.
