The externals shouldn't have a problem as they're 100% hardware based. I'm staring at one on cdw for $99.

Why not just go with a USB to serial converter and a good ol' US robotics external modem?

Hi,
We're thinking of using Mgetty and a modem to allow us some out of band management access to sites if the ADSL connection fails...
Just wondered if anyone had a recommended USB modem they've used on Centos/Mgetty as Hayes compatible serial modems seem to be quite rare these days?
The box actually has a serial port on it... problem is finding the serial modems! The USR stuff (now 3com) seems to be software based and won't (apparently) work with mgetty... _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
