| 238385 | 2004-05-22 03:33:00 | The drivers for peripherals have to be able to talk to the kernel . Knoppix, Red Hat, Mandrake, Fedora, SuSe, . . . all use the same kernel . It's not a Red Hat problem . Modems "designed for Windows" are the problem . Some have been no trouble, some have been difficult . How hard have you looked? Have you downloaded and used the scanmodem tool? . Have you been to the linmodems . org site? Enter "lucent winmodem linux" to Google, and use the 1st, 2nd, and 5th links . I suspect you might have to compile the module . If so, you'll need to have the kernel development kit installed . But you might be lucky . People are working on making it "easy" . If after going to those sites, you still have no success, ask about any parts you don't understand . But you'll have to learn to give information when asked . I don't know what brand of modem you have . Lucent make the chip set . They don't make modem cards . Billy's experience of your not mentioning a bloody great hill in front of your TV antenna wasted a lot of his time . At no time in that lengthy saga did you give a meaningful answer to any question . It's no use expecting people to magically solve your problems . |

| 238389 | 2004-05-23 09:44:00 | To install it log in as root, change into the directory where you have the rpm and type: rpm -ivh ltmodem* The switch i is to install, v for verbos install to tell you what is happening and h for ## to show you the progress. Only the i switch is required. |

| 238390 | 2004-05-23 10:12:00 | If this doesn't work you can buy an ISA or External Modem if you insist on running a version of Linux. This will assume you have an ISA slot on your Motherboard for an ISA Modem. Or you may connect an External Modem to Com1 or Com2 for example. Hardware is no use without drivers. When I changed from Win98SE to WinXP Pro I had to change my scanner. Other than that you can stay with the O/S for which you have drivers. Do it if you want. I'm certainly not here to tell you what O/S to run. |
