[CLUE-Tech] Ricochet Wireless Modem and Linux

[Jesse Flygare]

I too have used Ricochet for quite some time (before they went out of 
business for a while a while back). I have the PCMCIA version with RedHat 
9.0. I built some linux scripts for connecting and disconnecting from the 
ricochet network. Let me know if you would like them.

Yeah, I've used ricochet for about a year now with
both mandrake 9.0/9.1, knoppix, and slackware 9.1.  It
works just fine either through serial or usb.  Get the
non pcmcia modem, it has better reception.
