[wellylug] Linuxant gone commercial!!!

[Michael Dittmer]

Hi All...

I'm going to stir the pot a little here and say "Get Broadband (Cable or DSL)" and then you don't have to worry about modem drivers.

If you can't afford to get broardband or it is not offered in your area, I tell my clients who use linux to get an external hardware based modem, this saves all the problems.

As for modems, I'm keeping my D-Link 56k external for when I might need it.    :-)

Regards

Michael

  I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed, but linuxant.com, the makers of the Conexant winmodem, is now charging $15US for their winmodem drivers. You can still download drivers, but they only work at 14.4kbps.

  This is going to be a big problem, as many people have this type of modem. So, if you have the beta .tar.gz packages, like most people KEEP THEM!!

  According to the license, you can't redistribute or modify the source version, so we can't copy the source versions onto a website. 

  Hopefully, someone will make a free version again. Until then....?
