| 169322 | 2003-08-22 02:32:00 | Susan, as your external modem is the exact same model as my old one it should be detected by Linux without any problem. SuSE and Lycoris both picked up the modem straight away, and Red Hat should be the same (athough I use a ADSL modem now). You might just need to make it go and take another look for the modem. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 169323 | 2003-08-22 03:16:00 | Knoppix is less likely to detect less common hardware than Red Hat. Red Hat is a full distribution. It loves external serial modems. :D | Graham L (2) | ||
| 169324 | 2003-08-22 06:34:00 | Sorry Kame, I don't normally not practice what I preach. :8} External Dynalink serial modem, model 1456VQE, ie the slow sort. :p OK, I will take you guys' word for it that RedHat will be better at picking up the modem than Knoppix is. That is a relief, though I suspect there will be even more pressure to go the "whole hog" now. :D [pre]Starts hyperventiliating :D |

| 169327 | 2003-08-22 20:59:00 | I have a Dynalink 1456 VQE modem & it has been identified, no prob, by various flavours of linux (Mandrake, Redhat, Libranet) - so give it a go with Red Hat I'm sure it'll work. However, I got a USB modem for my old laptop, no way will that work with Linux ( I now use a Xircom PCMCIA modem which works perfectly with Linux Libranet). | jcr1 (893) | ||
| 169328 | 2003-08-22 23:43:00 | Have got RH9 and it had no trouble with my external Dynalink modem. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 169329 | 2003-08-22 23:46:00 | The trouble with USB modems is that they are much the same as WinModems. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 169330 | 2003-08-23 05:20:00 | My WinModem was a breeze to setup, many thanks to Geoff Palmer and the utility he provided: ScanModem! Told me exactly what to look for, was great! a 300kb download later, install the rpm, and Im done! It was simple! |
