If you're using Mdk 9.0, two very useful sites are
http://www.club-nihil.net/mub/index.phphttp://www.mandrakeusers.org/
Both are Mandrake forums. I'm not sure if you can post questions anonymously,
but joining the list is free, easy and very worthwhile. Lots of helpful
knowledgable people there and lots of traffic
I've never setup a winmodem on Linux, so I can't help you there, I can tell
you they are problematic. If you want to buy a new modem anyway, here's the
Mdk 9.0 hardware database:
http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/hardware.php3
You'll be able to find which modems are supported
