I just got linux fedora core three. its great for broad band but my house only has dial and im on a laptop. the laptops now a days dont seem to have a "hard" modem. its more like a emulator of sorts. is there anyway that i can get linux to recognize it?

and another thing it doesnt have an american flag in the phone number page. just austria, germany and a few other countries. can you only use linux dialup there or can i get that fixed.

if i have to i can just use the windows xp half of the computer to go online like i am now.

Hi,

Try here: http://www.linmodems.org

It helped me get my Linux box online back in the days when I had dial-up.
