can't afford to get broardband or it is not offered in your area, I tell my

commercial!!!<BR><BR></FONT></DIV>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.<IMG alt=:O src="cid:778393905@29102003-1e73" align=bottom

type of modem. So, if you have the beta .tar.gz packages, like most people
KEEP THEM!!<BR><BR>According to the license, you can't redistribute or modify
the source version, so we can't copy the source versions onto a website. <IMG
