hello all I got a mail saying that I should write a mail saying why I'm interested in linux so here goes; I'm from Norwich, called William and am interested in linux because I use my computer a lot and so am keen to know about what OS' are out there.I use my computer for writing games, although I only started programming and using PC computer's since just before the new year (my last computer before this was a spectrum 128K, so obviously I'm having to learn a lot of new stuff). I found a linux mag with a free cd with Redmond on so I installed it.I won't be using this list much for some time until I've learnt a bit about Redmond.The trouble is I wasn't sure which modem option to choose during installation so I chose none, so I'm wondering if I can still install the modem now or if I'll need to re-install Redmond.The modem is Intel 56K HaM Data Fax Voice Modem I don't know what any of that means; I found out about it by checking (Windows was previously installed on the box it's in).If I can sort that out I be able to get the software I need and get started. Thanks for any help and sorry for asking such basic questions, Will

It's a Winmodem. You're in luck though. http://www.linmodems.org reports that there are drivers for Intel HaM chips. Winmodems are not always easy to get up and running (they are the onboard type that are specifically designed for Windows) though it is possible. External modems are always the best, so if you can't get it to work, get an external modem. Good luck.
Oh yeah, welcome aboard - even though I only joined the list last week.
