| 169996 | 2003-08-23 23:27:00 | Hi all Just installed redhat 9, install was a breeze apart from the modem. The modem I have is listed neen I ran check modem as 14F1 = CONEXANT 127A = ROCKWEL 8086 = ICH 1106 = VIA 10DE = NVIDIA Can someone talk me through how to selcet the right modem and set up my internet connection. It loaded a generic modem, but when you try and activate it it just sit doing nothing. Also the whole thing seams slow, I thought it was ment to be fast! To run Open Office it takes about 2 minutes to load! Any ideas? Many thanks Dave |

| 169997 | 2003-08-23 23:56:00 | If it is an internal modem it is likely it will be a winmodem ie a windows only modem. Dont worry though... go to www.linmodem.org and d/l the scanmodem utility and run it. It will id your modem and suggest a site to get a driver. This work with Mandrake Linux so I think Redhat should be the same. As for openoffice it is slow to load, what are your machine specs???. |

| 169999 | 2003-08-24 00:48:00 | Thanks I ran check modem, it listed the modem and driver which I downloaded. It ended with .rpm which I understand is an installer type file. What I need help wth is selecting this drver once its installed. The naming convention an file locations have got me a bit lost! Still learning my way around.... The system is 500 Celeron. |

| 170001 | 2003-08-24 02:35:00 | It looks like its a connexant one (although you never said): Have you read the isntructions at: www.linuxant.com or www.linuxant.com depending on the type you have. With the redhat rpm all you should have to do is double click the rpm to install it. Once its installed use kpp (or another dialer) and use the query modem option to check it responds. |

| 170003 | 2003-08-24 04:11:00 | Are you meaning the ScanModem tool that Geoff Palmer put on the PCW Cover Disc a month or so back? Read the Output files (Scanmodem.txt) that it creates and post the contents here! |
