I have installed suse linux perfectly, except it will not cooperate with the winmodem on my machine (PCI). Can somebody suggest a modem that will go on my cheap eMachines PC either in a PCI slot or external? I'm looking for the most painless option possible, of course. Thanks.

Any good serial port external modem will work good. I've used ActionTec, Zoom, Creative & USRobotic serial modems with success. Lee -- --- KMail v1.6.2 --- SuSE Linux Pro v9.0 --- Registered Linux User #225206 On any other day, that might seem strange...

I think that the best thing to do, before buying a new modem device, is to test if the winmodem can work with drivers provided with SUSE and/or www.linuxant.com: if your modem chipset is recognised and supported, this kind of drivers can be used successfully. Please visit linuxant website and use the scanmodem script (by Marvin Stodolvsky) you can find therein: it will check the chipset and give indications about the usage of drivers. This page provides full details about installation procedures: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/archive-fourth/msg00350.html It is not so hard, so it is worth to try...... LM

Look for a real hardware modem. You didn't mention which release of SuSe you had installed. There are RPM's for Lucent based winmodems starting with 9.0. My 9.0 files server with one of those was not detected and setup, I had to find the RPM and install that. More resources can be found by searching google for linmodems. Mike

I favor external modems myself..... and I noticed that Newegg.com was selling refurbished USR Robotics Courier V.92 modems for $60 as opposed to $80 new. USR is about the best in the business, but any external modem will NOT be a winmodem. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.

I am using a Diamond supra Express 2730 which works just fine in win16 win32 and Suse. Nice thing about the diamond modems is the standardized codes. CWSIV On Wed, 2004-05-19 at 04:23, Bruce Marshall wrote:
