Re: Blood Lesson WARNING re "WARTY" Install

[Panos]

if your modem is not a serial modem but instead a usb one there is a 
good chance it is a soft(ware)modem which are also known as winmodems . 
In that case you should checkout *linmodems*.technion.ac.il and follow 
the instructions. if you need any help dont hesitate to ask. there is 
also a mailing list for support.
