Hello,

I am running and Dell 2400 with Debian Linux on it. I need to add a phone/fax modem on it. Anyone know of modems that will work with Debian?

Thanks

external modems should work without problems, internal modems on PCI-Cards might be a problem, since they are mostly controllerless modems, which need a driver to work and these drivers are mostly only available for windows, these PCI-modems are basically the same chipsets as the so-called winmodems in notebboks.

an external modem connected to your serial port will likely produce no problems, you just need to tell debian to which serial port it is connected
