�queles que utilizam ou pretendem utilizar winmodems no Linux. A
menssagem traz informa��es do est�gio atual suporte e desenvolvimento
de drivers para winmodens e indica o futuro para tais modems. Observe-se
que o suporte a modems Motora se tornar� cada vez mais dif�cil. O autor

driver support began with the 2.4.5 kernel code.
But sadly, it is terminating
<http://linmodems.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:5310:200108:bjpaplfaedbekkieepjl>
as Jacques
<http://linmodems.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?1:mss:6162:200111:chmlnapcoeaanlomnbne>
again relates.
There is a description of the contents and function

.
with a further comment on dependencies

The provided
652,327 size sm56_5.1_i386.rpm provided has its core
code in a sm56.lib
With continuing evolution of Linux kernel sources, functionality
of this code will eventually fail.
Unresolved symbols failures may for a short period be alleviated
through the use of Mark Spieth's cosmetic tool, fixscript, available
at http:/www.heby.de/ltmodem </www.heby.de/ltmodem> . Try:
mv sm56.o sm56.orig
fixscript sm56.orig sm56.o
But in the absense of upgrades of the sm56.lib to match evolving
kernel sources, future failure is inevitable.
Thus for continuing CONNECTions under Linux, better plan to get a
modem with continuing support under Linux.
As of Nov 2001, a rough support ranking is:
Controller based modems -most expensice use the
serial.o driver
Lucent DSP and Intel HaM chipset modems compiler kits
available
PCTel
compiler kits available
Conexant
HSF binaries only
Conexant HCF - projected for Dec2001
