| 485151 | 2006-09-17 09:53:00 | I got a win modem working once years ago after hours of effort - it was something of a major triumph when the net kicked into life. Haven't had a win modem in a computer for quite a while now - really not worth the effort. Even on dial up - an external modem is worth getting and you might even pick one up that someone is no longer using after they moved on to broadband. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 485152 | 2006-12-10 23:49:00 | I too have got this modem configured with linux (suse 9.2) and like bletch, it was a combination of the dse driver and playing with settings. Winmodems are a real pain in linux, the intel or connexant (which are the current trend) are porly supported and more difficult to configure than an ltmodem (with a lucent/agree chip)...if you can get your hands on one of these jems (you'll find them in some old hp pIII's and such) grab it, as they are a doodle to install and infact if you run puppylinux, chances are it will work without any configuration other than number to dial and login details. As stated, external is the most likely choice however be careful there too...not all external's work these days either. |
