<DIV>Hello, I am buying a US Robotics Modem 5686 External V.90 56K.
I believe that this modem will work fine with Linux Mandrake 8.1.
However it is not the new V.92 type. I can get it upgraded at US Robotics
site. But <U>US Robotics was not sure if the V.92 will work with
Linux</U>. The exact modem I am getting is the new <FONT
color=#ff0000><STRONG>5686D</STRONG></FONT>. I have not bought it yet but
I would hate to get it and then find out it does not work with Linux in
anyway.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Do you know an answer to this problem? I would really appreciate any
help you could give me.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thank you so much and Happy Holidays to you!</DIV>
