158005 2003-07-06 22:18:00 Firstly, had HUGE problems logging on - damned progie would not accept my user name or password, time and time again. Though it wanted me to create a new account. In the end cheated, selected a thread, hit the reply button and bingo, I could then log on .

Anyway......... Is see motherboards listed with "1XAMR socket".

What is an AMR socket, what is it used for, what does it look like etc.

158006 2003-07-06 22:46:00 AMR = Audio Modem Riser I believe, basically its a specific slot for Modems on new motherboards :-) Chilling_Silently (228)
158007 2003-07-07 00:55:00 yep AMR modems are very elcheapo and are totally software driven. you can also get AMR audio cards but i havn't seen one over here and you proberly wouldn't want to. tweak'e (174)

afaik not very happy at all. i tried with my redhat 8 box and it didn't even find the modem. might give it a go later IF i can find any linux drivers for it.

158011 2003-07-07 04:16:00 Have you tried Geoff's utility on the latest July Cover Disc for descovering your modem in Linux?

Or is that WinModem-related only??
