Or, for $14, you can get a real, live, walking, talking controller modem from Acortech.com

They work GREAT. I bought 3 of them (one for me, one for my bro, one for my dad) and they ROCK.

Check it out.

Acortech has great service and ships as fast as Newegg. If you don't believe me, check resellerratings.com. Acortech is #9.

Pretty good, says I.

Wow, they've got some cheap stuff on there. Might just have to pick up one of those five dollar mouses. (:

SaidinUnleashed, that modem sure looks like a swell idea. Its too bad that the cheapest shipping to Canada is more than the modem itself costs... (I think that once everything is said and done, I'd being paying over $50 Canadian) But thanks for the suggestion. I think that I just might have tol shop around for a real modem, internal or external. Out of curiosity, did you notice any Internet speed increases with that modem over winmodems?

One other thing that I should mention, is that when I last tried installing the winmodem stuff in DSL, I tried using the make command, but it said that it could not find the command "make". Also, when running config (or was it install?), it was saying that it could not find gcc. So, how can you guys use the make command with DSL? Do I have to download it from someplace? Is it very carefully hidden?

I'm going to reboot in linux and try again in a moment, and see if there might be something that i have missed.

You know that game called xbubbles? Does it require SDL to run? If so, that must mean that I have done something right, and am getting SDL stuff going, because I got that game installed and running just fine. If not, oh well.
