User Feedback :: Lucent/Agere Winmodem in DSL

Many, many posts ago in response to somebody's post somebody wrote that drivers for winmodems under linux are unreachable. Not true, page Linmodems.org contains many driver, eg. Lucent ones (common i toshiba laptops).

My question is if it's possible to add those drivers to DSL, they would be really useful. Aren't big - lucent about 350kb as DEB package. Maybe as a replacement for links or other stuff?

BTW: Anyone thought of adding Thunderbird? ;)

Good masters don't beat me, me's only asking  

As for Linmodem drivers, they probably will never be in the base iso. Especially not to replace Links.

Links rocks.

You gotta have a console mode browers, because some computers don't have enough muscle to run X.

Perhaps someone will make an extension for those drivers though.

As for T-bird, have you played with Sylpheed?

Many people like it better than T-bird. I include myself in that group.

But if you absolutely HAVE to have T-bird , grab the extension in the net section of the repository.
