| 562605 | 2007-06-27 08:50:00 | Thanks for all the replies. The problem got sort of solved. I had two optical drives on the Windows machine and when I removed one the Linux install disk ran OK and I installed it on my second HD. Unfortunatley when I start the PC it wont let me run anything but Win so I got the hump and gave it away. New problem. Linux runs great on my spare PC, but I can not configure my modem. I follow the insrtuctions but no response. |

| 562607 | 2007-06-27 09:27:00 | Some questions - what is the modem's manufacturer's name and the model number? What instructions did you follow? I presume it is a PCI modem in which case it is almost for sure a "win-modem" meaning that it is designed for some of the hardware modem functions to be carried out by MS Windows. These days there are equivalent drivers for lots of winmodems. Sometimes the easiest solution is to use an external serial port "hard" modem which always work out of the box in my experience. | johnd (85) | ||
| 562608 | 2007-06-29 03:01:00 | The modem is an internal PCI V.92 Pragmatic. It cost around $22.00 and runs Ok on Windows. It will be a pity if I vant run it as Linux looks good and loads fast on my spare PC | cybernerd (12461) | ||
| 562609 | 2007-06-29 08:51:00 | Have a look for your modem on http://www.linmodems.org/ to see if it is supported. | johnd (85) | ||
