Thanks to Mikshaw and Saiden for their replies.

I haven't searched the modem issue yet, but any new linux should support winmodems I would think since so many laptops use them. If the SUSE distro and some others can make them work, why can't DSL? Other option of course is to go out and buy a pcmcia modem, but not all older laptops have them.

DSL *can* support them...the modules compile fine. The issue is what does it take to make it work? Maybe it means editing the module config files manually, or adding more libs or other files...so far I haven't figured it out.
