165154 2003-08-04 03:52:00 does anyone kow why my intel 536ep v.92 modem show only 31200 bps when connected to the net. It is a PCI software modem that I installed and it was easy enough. Are there any AT commands that I have to set. rtipene (4356)
165155 2003-08-04 09:26:00 I can't help with your problem but maybe you could help me with mine. I also have an Intel 536ep modem and am dual booting XP & Mandrake 9.1. My problem is that I can't get Mandrake to recognise the modem :( Any help would be appreciated southern_jas (4017)
165156 2003-08-04 12:51:00 Hi there, the problem will be that youhave not installed the Linmodem Drivers found at Intel.com. These drivers can be downloaded to your windows system and then copied to CD.
You open the Cd in Mandrake then right click on the driver on folder and then create directory using this extension tar - intel536ep.tgz. this will put this file on the home directory.
You will then need to download the kernel headers off the International CD using the mandrake control centre, software management, then RPM Drake to install, in the search box type kernel-source, it will find the kernel you require and install when asked.
You also need to install the kppp dialer using the same method and it will tell you what CD to use for that.
Find you tar file and double click to open, right click on the folder in there called Intel 536-440 and go down the line to open terminal here, click open terminal and enter su then enter your root password if you have one.
type make clean
then type make 536ep
then type make install
this should install your drivers and nicely as well
you then find your kppp dialer and enter your ISP information and it will automatically go to the modem that is installed.

If you want just send me your email and I will send you the driver via email>
