Sick and tired of trying to configure software based modems to work with Linux and an old 365X ThinkPad, 120mhz, 72mb RAM, I gave up and spent a few extra bucks for this little hardware based LAN/Modem. Slackware Linux 7.1 recognized the modem as soon as it booted up, I dialed out and was surfing via Lynx in seconds. Tiring of text based surfing, I tried it in KDE as well without any complaints.

Seeing how it worked so well with Slackware, I decided it was time to try it with Windows 98 (I mentioned before that this was an older ThinkPad). While booting into Windows, the little computer bogged down considerably. Despite that, it connected to the web satisfactorily. The only other problem I had with the LAN/Modem was that it would hang for about twenty seconds or so before actually disconnecting.

Since buying this LAN/Modem, I have given away the little ThinkPad (along with a software based modem because all they are familiar with is Windows) and moved on to Broadband. I am keeping a tight grip on the LAN/Modem though. One never knows when an old laptop may cross ones path and need a bit of tweaking. :)
