Hi, my question is which modems are most commonly supported by Linux 7.1? I have 2 modems; a GVC F-1156iv/R9 and an Aopen fm56-pm but Linux does not have driver for them does it?
if it does how do I find it on GUI interface?
I tryed GVC and Aopen but they don't have Linux driver for them, what would be the next thing to do?
do I need to buy a modem? if so what kind does Linux suppports?
Thanks!

The best modems for Linux are external - most PCI based modems are really win modems and in general, they don't work well w/ linux. If you have a winmodem w/ a lucent chipset, I know that there's now a driver patch for that, (you'll have to search the web or someone else can answer) but this modifies your getty program. USR and a few companies do make real modems, but they are higher in price than win modems
