| 102148 | 2002-11-28 09:19:00 | I have a dual boot Win XP / Mandrake 9.0 installation. My PC Tel 56 K PCI Micromodem has no problem under XP, but I don't know how to get it working under Linux. Does anyone know if it's possible to use this modem, or should I give up and get an external Dynalink ?? Also I have a basic model of Genius Scanner, which is USB, but wasn't picked up during Mandrake installation, and I would like to know if I can use this. I am very new to Linux and would appreciate any help. Thanks Grant. |

Don't know if you can use WINE to run it but might be possible. I'm in the same boat when it comes to hardware for Linux. |

| 102151 | 2002-11-28 09:54:00 | Here is some more specific information on linux and winmodems: Winmodems (www.modemdriver.com) If you cannot find a linux driver for your modem, Dynalink 56K e-modem is linux friendly and was recommended to me by other forum members. Jen |

| 102156 | 2002-11-29 01:24:00 | But that won't help Grant: he's got his computer and Winmodem already.;-) | Graham L (2) | ||
| 102157 | 2002-12-04 08:52:00 | Thanks for the help. Sorry I've been away and have only just got back to F1 and see there have been some helpful replies. I am making my way through all suggestions. I have been told by the people who sold me my PC, that there are some drivers for this modem, but that they are written for 3 x different versions of red hat, so may not work with Mandrake 9.0 | grantr (2660) | ||
