Hello! Please let us know more about your internal modem!! Wich vendor, how old is it etc. Maybe we can find something out... But in most cases its very dificult / inposible to get a winmodem running on linuxboxes :-(. Best regards, Schoepp On Sat, 29 Sep 2001, djden wrote:

Hello Apologies but I am very new to this and have spent the last week reading and re-reading, being pointed to one doc file or another internet site, all appearing to give me confilicting info. I am therefore, for the moment, giving up on trying to ascertain if my present internal WinModem will work on com4 on my machine, and am asking for a quick solution. Once online I can play with my old modem's possibilities or otherwise to my heart's content, but my priority is getting online in Linux. I would very much appreciate any advice on a PCI modem that will allow me to use my two physical comm ports for Braille and speech, and where I might obtain one in the UK. (I was advised by the Suse support staff to go down this road rather than looking for a USB modem, but again, if anyone has clear advice I would appreciate it). Thank you, very desperately hoping someone can help.
