[SuSE Linux] Is it a winmodem after all?
Hi everyone, Thanks for all the help so far, I spoke to someone else and they suggested that if there were lots of modem drivers installed under windows the beastie may be nought but a hapless winmodem after all... Under windiows sytem control panel, I clicked on the modem and then on Drivers and it gave me a list: UNDER \WINDOWS: PTCOM.VXD VVOICE.VXD VMODEM.VXD VMM32.VXD UNDER: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ VMODEM.VXD PTCTRL.CPL PTVCD.VXD PTSERIAL.VXD Do you think from this its a winmodem?

If it's a winmodem, and you do a pnpdump >/etc/isapnp.conf; you should get a huge isapnp.conf with about 20 different registers to set up. There is web site somewhere that lists all winmodems by manufacturer. Look at this list's archive, it has been mentioned 3 or 4 times. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>

does it have jumpers on it? If so its probably not a win modem. Im no expert.. ;-) but, my understanding/perception is one of winmodems traits are plug and play meaning the os detects it and issues irqs as needed. <the modem is dependant on the os> Whereas a jumpered modem needs/should be issued an irq by the instaler. A nice modem detecter is wvdial (as well as an easy ppp dialup program) Id suggest to first see if it has jumpers, if it does install it and then install wvdial then see if its detected. You may have to try different irqs and if its a compaq you'll have to wrangle with the innane setup in the bios. all in all youll know if it works or not rob Linux Home page <A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm"><A HREF="http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A">http://www.connix.com/~dizzy73/LBM.htm</A</A>> -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archive at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
