searching google.... Listed as "Not working" on "The unofficial PCTel Winmodem in Linux compatibility database" databasehttp://pctelcompdb.sourceforge.net/viewdetails.php?id_no=43 (kernel 2.4.18, rh7.3)
Sure don't know anything about this, but the PCTel drivers have "hsp" in the name, which MIGHT mean chipset compatibility. Disclaimer: I am NOT a modem expert, so fry your own hardware. However, trying a potentially compatible driver like this should NOT fry your hardware; it's more likely to just not work than to fry something... http://walbran.org/sean/linux/linmodem-howto-5.html#ss5.4 Yeah, we might be onto something here: ActionTec, GVC, E-Tech Research, PCTel and Zoltrix all make HSP56 modems... search for hsp56 on http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/20021015a.html this is the link for the latest list from: http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html (which is listed below) Looks like they are all winmodems, tho not all are fully reported on... a number of them are reported to ONLY work in windows, and one or two "may work with vendor-supplied 'Linmodem' driver"... so I'd say try the PCTel linmodem drivers if you can figure them out, they're your best bet. If all else fails, you may be able to use the modem within a WINE session (windows emulation), and use the connection from linux. MAYBE. Some windows-only folks have trouble with this modem, too. Hmmm. http://www.network54.com/Hide/Forum/goto?forumid=11615 and, general Linux modem references: http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/modems.html (the rest are linked also from this first tldp page) http://www.linmodems.org/ http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html http://www.math.sunysb.edu/~comech/tools/PCImodems.html http://walbran.org/sean/linux/linmodem-howto.html (tho this last one appears to be old) On Wed, 2002-11-06 at 15:55, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > To whom it may concern, > Hello, > Im a volunteer at opn.I have a dual os computer, the first is windows xp and > the second is redhat 8.0 my problem is I have a hsp56mr modem and I don't know > how to set it up can you help me? > Thank you, > Eric Burger Good luck, Eric!!
