a couple hardware inquiries

[Wesley Leonard <marshall@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm going to be building a couple machines soon and I was wondering if anybody
has used the Asus A7V motherboard with Linux.  If so, how did it go?  It looks
like a very impressive piece of hardware: 8 IDE devices (2x dma66/100
controllers, 2x standard IDE), USB, Scsi firmware (requires additional Asus
hardware for Scsi controller, though), etc...

Check here for more info:

Also, I was wondering if anybody has managed to get Lucent based winmodems to
work under Linux.  I've been aware of the driver's existence for quite some time
but never had the opportunity to try it.  Since these guys run for like $15 I
was thinking of picking one up for a test.  (This question naturally follows the
first since the Asus K7V has no ISA slots...)

Thanks everyvbody!
