[ILUG] hardware not supported by linux

[Donncha O Caoimh]

One sec before this gets out of hand..

What version of Linux are you running? Red Hat? Mandrake? Suse?

If it's Red Hat or Mandrake fire up the "printtool" program and that'll let 
you pick a printer from a list.

You'll need a driver for that winmodem, Wine can't do anything about that as 
it's a "higher level" program than device drivers. A search through Google 
for information will probably drag something up.

Donncha.
