I don't know why the USR modem wouldn't work, did you try to set it up using the connection wizard? If not, what did you try?

Most controller-based modems just work in any version of Linux.

yes dave i did try the connection wizard still wouldn't work even when to USR web site downloaded the plugin for the modem, talk to tech support at USR and still wouldn't work even went to xandros website done everthing that it said even look at other BBS website on this and no help i may hang on to the modem i not sure what i am going to do with it at this time. Also look at pass email that i got before from here(this website) and no help
but i do have one thing that i am going working on is a iomega zip drive 100 i havn't found any driver that will work yet i have found one site that said some of the windows drivers will work (iomega website) but they didn't tell which one will work XPpro,XP,95.98,98se,DOS ect...

i am waiting for a wireless network to come here because i only have dailup here so i can put it on weireless it should fly on the internet they tell me it will have the speed of 2G

It's an external serial modem:

These things *always* work in *any* OS, no clues here why it isn't working for Kc 4sbj
