Internet connection using Smart link 56k voice modem and Ubuntu 5.04 AMD64

[didier mariño]

Hello Sebastian,

I've been waiting for many days the answer from Smart
Link about the driver modem for AMD 64, but they does
not write anything relate to my need, they might not
be interested.

I have an AMD64 processor working with Microsoft
because I can not use my modem to access internet
using   GNU/linux, I know that many companies are
still married  with Microsoft and don´t want to give
support to their user when the try another system like
GNU/Linux. 

¿Where  Nautilus is on the menu?.

Best regards,
