&gt;&gt; Can anyone recommend a 56kb PCI modem for use on Fedora that does not 
&gt;&gt; become useless when the kernel is updated to a newer version?
&gt; 
&gt; 
&gt; I cannot recommend a PCI modem.  I stopped using a PCI modem years ago
&gt; and now will only use a decent external modem.
&gt; 
&gt; Here is a list of the problems I DON'T have:
&gt; 1) having to reboot my computer because of a modem &quot;lock&quot; (just turn
&gt; modem off and back on, not whole computer)
&gt; 2) finding some module/string/whatever to make my modem work.  i plug
&gt; the thing in and start wvdial/kppp/gnome-dialer/pon
&gt; 3) wondering if the thing is working (are the lights blinking?)
&gt; 4) compatability (it works with every operating system)
&gt; 5) upgradeability (add another at any time, no need to open the case)
&gt; 
&gt; I use a Zoom brand modem.  I bought it new off eBay for $45 and after a
&gt; week purchased the other two (new) for roughly the same price.
&gt; 
&gt; I still have one unopened in my closet.  The other I loaned to my wife's
&gt; aunt because she had bought 4 internal modems over a year.  She loves
&gt; this external modem and has stated that I won't be getting it back
&gt; anytime soon (it's ok she's old and I can wait).  She no longer has
&gt; problems connecting to her local internet service and doesn't get
&gt; dropped like before.  She is 67 dual-booting ME and Xandros PE.  She
&gt; uses ME for some greeting card program for the garden club (and the
&gt; impulse buy at Wal-Mart), but Xandros for everything else.  When she
&gt; gets back from her camping/hiking next week I am going to upgrade her to
&gt; SuSE 9.2 or Debian Sarge so her DVD burner will work to full capacity.
