There is no way a new user (or an experienced user with new hardware) can setup a winmodem without the scanmodem tool.

This is also a big step back in implementing our winmodem-support spec, which was recently accepted for the Mounting View Summit. Thanks.

I imagine something like: "Since november 30, there is a new live CD image, HERD 1, that allows you to test very early what will eventually become Ubuntu 7.04, on your hardware. Running it to test it may be a good idea, but we don't encourage you to install it. If you have submitted or subscribe to some bugs that was known to exist in previous versions of Ubuntu, it is a very usefull information to know if the bug still happen in that version or not, or if new bugs happens. So, if you are already familiar with our bug tracker in Launchpad, have a relatively fast access to the Internet, and a CD burner, then downloading and testing HERD 1 CD with your hardware, can be a good contribution you can do to the software quality of Ubuntu 7.04, scheduled to be released April 19, 2007." hum, not as easy I thought to write this kind of 'announcement'.

I'll try to post a comprehensive answer :) If I understood correctly, your winmodem works with Mepis? If that is the case, you can make your winmodem work in ubuntu as well, but it will not be easy. You will want to follow directions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DialupModemHowto (Assuming that you didn't so already) if you cannot make the winmodem work after following the instructions, you could post a thread asking for help at http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=136 . If you do that, please email me (towsonu2003 at gmail dot com) the link to your thread and I (and hopefully others) will try to help. Disclaimer: I'm not an expert or anything like that :) The problem with winmodems not working out of the box is a known problem. We not only need to include working winmodem drivers into the default installation, but also cooperate with linmodems.org people to come up with better solutions. We are trying to solve that problem thru the feature request here: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+spec/winmodem-support We are also trying to get the Dialup Howto page into the offline documentation: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/42454 If you'd like to, you could vote in the following unofficial forum thread for winmodem support. Although developers won't see it, it provides proof that many people are suffering due to lack of winmodem support in Ubuntu. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=82608 Setting up a winmodem is usually (very) hard, so if Mepis sets it up for you, I'd understand if you'd prefer to install Mepis :) I hope this helps.

It's held all day on 29 November 2006, no matter what timezone you're in. The Hug Day is where we get together to look at bugs in Ubuntu and pitch in to help. If you know how to program, you can try your hand at coding up a fix. If you don't, there's also things to do. You can fix translations, edit documentation, and help triage bugs. Why do we call it Hug Day? Because you get a virtual hug every time you help out with something. It's our way of appreciating your effort. This week, to correspond with UbuntuOpenWeek, we'll be introducing people to bug triaging. Come join us if you want to help out, but don't know where to start.

I'm sure the the request for a screen shot was not meant as a statement of your reliability, rather it was a request for how do I reproduce this issue. Usually the biggest pain in the butt for bug triage is how exactly do I reproduce an issue. Now as to the actual bug. I do not believe that the absence of internet is an bug. All dictionaries have a finite size. Some include more words than others. In this case, as in many others, the dictionary is easily extendable. Thus, if internet is a word you use please add it to your personal dictionary.
