[TriLUG] Walmart PC's to ship w/real modem!

[Jeremy P]

This rocks:

>On Monday, we published the article, "Installing Linux On a Wal-Mart
>OS-less machine." The review was positive overall, but it highlighted
>a problem: that the modem included in the machine has no functional
>Linux driver.
>
>Less than three days later, the builder of the Wal-Mart systems, Microtel
>Computer Systems, announced that it has heard the voice of the Open
>Source community and will soon begin shipping Linux-compatible modems
>in its Wal-Mart PC packages.
