Now the Lucent winmodems can be made to work under linux, but it's not an easy job for beginners. I don't know the Aopen modem, but if it is a real modem (no winmodem) it will probably work just fine. Try a google-search on it, or wait for others to answer this question. In general, you are safe with 'external' modems. :) Mark P.S. why are you cross-posting this to Debian, OpenBSD, FreeBSD and NetBSD mailinglists.... not very nice...
