Think if I could get my windows dialer to run under wine I could use it with my winmodem under linux?
...and I have another option...
From the AT&T worldnet page you can download a linux dialer...would that work with a winmodem, you think?

most ppls in here don't have a WinModem, so I think you should try around with it a bit.
And, I think the better idea would be to DL and install the linux version of the dialer, because running wine in the BG is quite unefficient and has it's price which isn't very low.

what do you mean by "wine has its price"?

"leeting WINE run in the background has it's price"
it takes up many of your CPU cycles you could better use elsewhere.

oh, you mean price in machine performance...
well, imho on a modern machine (they all have ~1ghz anyway...) it shouldn't matter... but on lower-end hardware...

wine takes quite much of cpu cycles, also on my machine (1GHz, 512MB RAM, blah). It's just more efficient to use a proper linux program, instead of wine

I have a modem problem too,
I have a WinModem and an external modem.
The external modem(Thundercom 336 TV) is easier to configure, but I am not sure how.
You can get drivers for WinModems for Linux - http://www.linmodems.org
WinModems are modems which need proprietary drivers.

seriously: wasn't there a kernel module for most win modems?

Is there a kernel module for WinModems?

maybe you can get a kernel off krnelorg and check it in the configuration
