| 157332 | 2003-07-04 02:55:00 | You will need to download the driver for it. I've never setup a lucent so I don't have anything specific. Couple of useful links: http://linmodems.org/ www.heby.de |

Linux is easiest to setup with "proper" modems but more and more winmodems are being supported (I have 2 modems used by Linux... they are both 100% modem i.e. they are not winmodems) Good luck and hopefully you will not get too fustrated. |

| 157335 | 2003-07-04 09:31:00 | I'd recommend you go buy the latest PCW, Geoff wrote an excellent article on WinModems in Linux, and there's a utility on the CD to Identify your modem in Linux, so you can download the right driver.. From there on in, his column will help you :-) And yes, Especially in RedHat.. The BootLoader is very pretty.. the mandrake one's just butt ugly compared to it! |
