Nice of you to point this out. Although the choice of modem should be 
the users' responsibility (winmodems are usually hard to configure), it 
is still a concern that maybe the Mageia group/dev's could maybe 
concentrate on? Maybe, making the steps to dial-up modems a little more 
"user-friendly"? None of the distros take this into account as Linux is 
usually considered best done at ADSL hookups.
