On a related note, I just switched from Debian to Kubuntu on my Thinkpad T23 in the hope I could get the Winmodem to work, and lo and behold Kubuntu installed it and here I am, free from Windows forever!
Well, actually I'll keep dual-booting Win2K, but at least I no longer have to expose Windows to the Internet and have it slowly grind to a halt with worms and viruses.

Wow! You got a winmodem to work? Hardware modems are known to be cereal-box easy, but winmodems have been traditionally hard.
Congrats.

I don't expect you to, but I have commented before in past FR postings that a windows box that is isolated away from the internet is a pretty sweet setup.
