<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi, as far as I've known USB modems are supported
under Linux.However, you have to make sure you have kernel, and module support
for USB devices, and have the USB modems compiled in or as a
module.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Also it is worth a shot to try the Lucent Win Modem
driver, and see if that works.In a few cases that has gotten some good resaults
for getting some Win modems to work under Linux.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> USB modem with Linux?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am using SuseBlinux with hardware speech synth
and Braille display on com1 and 2. I only have a winmodem which uses virtual
comport 4 and will therefore not work with Linux. I only have two physical
comm ports on my machine.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is there any way around this? I wonder if any USB
modems are supported in Linux - specifics would be helpful?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I do not think software speech is fully developed
yet and the Apollo2 is very responsive.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help welcomed please.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
