AFAIK, installing a PCI modem causes problems in Linux, but external modems should always work.
So I purchased a Sitecom 56k external modem.
But alas, it was not recognized by Yast1 or Yast2, although I selected the right serial port (/dev/ttyS1).
Has anyone got a Sitecom external modem working? Or is it true that not all external modems work?
So this modem is connect to the port which would be called COM2 under Windows? Remember, serial ports are numbered starting at 0, so: ttyS0 COM1 ttyS1 COM2 ttyS2 COM3 ttyS3 COM4
Try running: wvdialconf /dev/null to see if you modem is detected like this.
Hope that helps, Chris
Oh it should work, and wvdialconf should find it. PCI modems do work by the way as long as they are NOT winmodems. -- Regards Cliff
