New user needing help with installing hardware

Hi all.

I recently converted to Linux from Windows and now have a few problems.

My modem installation software doesn't seem to be Linux compatible so does
anyone know what I can do to install the modem drivers?

Also, will my HP iPaq and software work with Linux as well?

Thanks so much for your help.

Which Modem do you have, exactly? Many many modems these days are Windows
modems which will not work on Linux because they lack hardware.

Define "work". You'll probably be able to synch it with a PIM like
Evolution or KMail one way or another. Which ipaq, exactly?
