Thanks for the reply. I went thru those pages, and found the answer..... this ActionTEC MD 560RD modem isn't supported according to the Linmodem web site, or at least there's no driver support for it in Linux. Well, at least I now know why, off to CompUSA to get a new PC Card plain modem!! -Jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "BandiPat" <penguin0601@earthlink.net> Newsgroups: Suse.Linux-e To: <suse-linux-e@suse.com> Sent: Monday, June 09, 2003 4:31 PM Subject: Re: [SLE] SuSE v8.2 and Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop

Well, that's what I had surmised, but no joy with the installation right out of the box.
I'm not much of a tinkerer when it comes to recompiling the OS, but I've got alot left to learn. Windows 2000 Pro sees the modem fine, so I know the device is working fine.
I use the modem lots, so this is a major deal for me to get thru before I can begin a stepped migration to Linux. The next major thing for me is to find out how to use VMWare for my Windows apps that the company is forcing down my throat.
Thanks, Jeff =================
If the modem is a winmodem, there might still be hope according to the chipset used. I believe you can go here to get more info: http://www.linmodems.org/
There might be a driver or at least info that will help you in getting it working. If memory serves me, I believe there are some drivers included with 8.2 on the discs.
