[wellylug] Modem query for Mandrake 9.1 PPC on imac G3 333Mhz

[Andrew]

Hi Paul,

My experience with YellowDog was that it supported the on-board modem 
out of the box... no pick or choose other than to say it was an iMac 
modem. I would be surprised if it was a winmodem type setup as the DSP 
was removed from the CPU after the 604 series CPU - hence the end of 
the geoport modem.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Cheers
Andrew
