[wellylug] Linuxant gone commercial!!!

[Peter Jones]

They (Linuxant) put up a page saying why they are charging
https://www.linuxant.com/store/faq.php
<https://www.linuxant.com/store/faq.php> 
 
On the whole I think its pretty reasonable.  People like to eat, and that
costs.
 
Why is it that paying for hardware is the most acceptable thing in the
world, but paying for software isn't?
Both have a huge investment in time.
 
 
OTOH if anyone else wants to put in the hours to develop a driver and then
release it at no cost, go for it.
 
My opinion only

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.
:-)


The problem is that people with laptops, don't really want to lug a external
modem around the place.
