| 170093 | 2003-08-24 05:05:00 | I got the scanmodem script on my linux operating system, ran the script and it spat out 2 files (modemdata.txt & modemdata.txt.2). How do I use these files to find out my winmodem's chipset and then download the appropriate driver? P.S. I am using redhat 9.0. Cheers John |

| 170094 | 2003-08-24 08:57:00 | John, I'm having the same trouble with my redhat 9 install. It seams like you have to be a computer expert to sort it out! I have to boot in windows, surf to find some info. Then reboot in Linux and try to fix the modem issue. I've just about had enough! Maybe windows isn't that bad after all. The driver has to match the exact version of the kernal. The thing that gets me is most of the people that hand out the advise ashume(?) that we are experts as well. Let us know if you sort it out.... |

| 170099 | 2003-08-25 11:58:00 | Have a read through and it tells you the relevant things to try on google, in this case its: slmdm-2.7.10 So, I went to google and searched and came up with the following: Google Results (www.google.co.nz) Click on the first website! |

| 170100 | 2003-08-25 11:58:00 | Hmm... Just realised they're not for RedHat 9... Have a look around, there's bound to be some out there :-) |
