Subj : back in business To : BJ”RN FORSSTR”M From : CHARLES ANGELICH Date : Wed Dec 29 2004 05:57 pm 123a365888ff windows Hello Bj”- BF>> Is it really necessary to have USB 2.0? Isn't 1.0 enough? RW>> I believe so in some cases. However, some devices (such as RW>> cablemodems and DVD/CD burners that attach to the USB RW>> port) take advantage of the higher speeds that USB 2.0 RW>> supports. BF> But here it is about a modem that works ok on a slow serial BF> port and would work just fine on a USB 1.0 port. I have a BF> 256 MB USB 2.0 pocket memory that works fine with USB 1.0, BF> it only takes a bit more time but that's not the same as BF> with a slow modem. If a modem works on a serial port it BF> would certainly be enough with the speed on a USB 1.0 port. The part you are overlooking is that I have repeatedly pointed out I want the external modem for Linux compatibility. It was never a question as to what Windows can mickey-mouse into working for Windows. > > , , > o/ Charles.Angelich \o , > <| |> __o/ > / > USA, MI < \ __\__ --- * ATP/16bit 2.31 * ....
