Okay.<br /><br />Note that Windows is NOT the most popular operating systems because it has support for ( almost ) all available hardware, but that ( almost ) all available hardware manufacturers bundle in a driver for Windows because it is the most used operating system. In fact, if manufacturers followed protocols and standard device conventions, even this wouldn't be a problem. But manufacturers often implement software "workarounds" instead of putting in "real" hardware and simply providing a driver disc, thereby cutting costs. Such hardware fails to work with a "standard" and "generic" class device driver, e.g. Conexant "softmodems". It's not Linux's fault. In fact, you will find that most "dying" hardware tends to work more stably on Linux, as you said yourself :)<br /><br />Be brave; stranger things have happened.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590441803747091514noreply@blogger.com
