Any chance this is a "WinModem"? Here is a brief response I found:
http://lists.suse.com/archives/suse-linux-e/2000-Jun/1503.html
But for a novice, the answer is to just get a real modem -- preferably
a US Robotics external modem.
If you should happen to get a working modem, setup can still be
confusing. I suggest using "wvdial":
http://www.worldvisions.ca/wvdial/
It may already be on you linux installation. From the README:
"The first thing to do is have wvdialconf detect your modem and create your
initial configuration. 'su' to root and type the following:
wvdialconf /etc/wvdial.conf
If all goes well, your modem will be detected and its configuration stored
in /etc/wvdial.conf. If it doesn't work, all is not lost but you will have
to build the configuration completely by yourself. Read the wvdial(1) man
page ("man wvdial") for more information about that."

There is a mini-howto for zip drives. It really was simple,
assuming you have a zip plus parallel, all you need do is
'modprobe imm'. The module loads and detects the drive. much
easier than wintendoze, no setup to run, no reboots.

Subject: RH6.2 with 3 NICs on a Dell Dimension L800r ??
Date: Sat, 20 Jan 2001 18:19:00 -0800
Hi,
I'm trying to configure a firewall with RedHat 6.2 on a Dell Dimension L800r
with 3 NICs:
- 1 integrated (Intel Pro 10/100)
- 2 3Com 3C905C
I turned off the PNP in BIOS, disabled the integrated sound card and the
parallel port and let RedHat installs itself.
RH found my NICs correctly but a ping on the local IP address on both the
3Com takes +1 minute.
Then, I've found that the Intel and one of the 3Com are using the same IRQ
and there's no way to change this.
Is there a way to get 3 NICs to work on a Dell Dimension L800r running
RedHat 6.2 ?
Or should I go to RedHat 7.0 ?
Thanks,
Thierry.

You can also try turning off the power management in BIOS. I have
had this work with AMI BIOS. Have not had the problem with award
BIOS but this also depend on the motherboard since all BIOSs are
tweaked for each MB.

PCI Busmaster arbitration will often see many items using the same IRQ.
I have one system where no less than 4 devices are on IRQ 11....and they
all go just fine.
It may be that you have a routing issue. If it were me, I would have
installed those NICs one at a time. I don't trust software to react well
to a herd of NICs. I do it also because I tend to use the same NICs and
I need to tell them apart.....and 3 at once leaves me wondering which
one is which. :-)

Shouldn't have spoken so soon.
I turned off PCMCIA support in the kernel, then rebuilt PCMCIA programs.
Now the card is found (2 high beeps), and I can assign it an IP, but if I
ping it locally or remotely the machine locks up until I remove the card.
This also happens with a known good PCMCIA card.
Might this be the PCI 2.1 PCMCIA problem (this is a BX board with 2 ISA
slots), or should I be alright with kernel 2.4.1-pre9 and PCMCIA 3.1.24?

Hello:
Problem is that I ping comp 2 (server) from comp 1: 192.168.1.1 from
192.168.1.13.
tcpdump tells me that it's reading calls to 192.136.1.1 from
192.136.1.13.
Someone on the networking list suggested that I check the RAM. I don't
understand:
1) How RAM might cause this sort of problem.
2) How one would go about checking RAM beyond seeing that they're seated
properly.
3) Resolve the problem (beyond, of course, reseating them, though I now
believe this isn't the problem).
Thanks.

the "l" problem you refer to has to do with a limitation of lilo. Repartition
and reinstall, but instead of making one large "/" partition, make a 20-40 MEG
"/boot" partition, and fill the rest with a "/" partition. This will get rid
of the lilo problem. I had the same problem on my system, and that fixed it.

The es1371 (not sure about the es1370) does *NOT* have true hardware
MIDI capabilities. Even under 'Doze, MIDI files sent to this card are
processed through a piece of software much like timidity which
transforms the MIDI data into PCM data, then plays the PCM data through
the normal PCM interface. If you connect a MIDI device to the 15-pin
joystick port, interfacing with this device is also done in software.
If you really need true hardware MIDI capabilities, then you need to
look into a different soundcard.
(Corrections welcome; this is essentially what I've gathered by being on
this NG for a long time and looking through the es137?.c files.)

I've got a cdrom on hda, zip 100 on hdb (see *note* below), the
secondary onboard interface is disabled in BIOS, maxtor 8 GB UDMA 33 on
hdc (first interface on pci controller), samsung 8 GB UDMA 33 on hde,
and maxtor 15 GB UDMA 66 on hdf. hdc is the boot disk, and the kernel
image is well past 4 GB on the disk. (2.2.18 patched with second-to-last
patch) It booted fine a few times 31 days ago. This is a 430VX chipset
motherboard which is max'd out at 64 MB EDO RAM and Pentium 233 MMX CPU.
The stupid thing isn't even modern enough to boot off a cdrom, but I
hope to get another few years out of it (who needs to boot anyway?).
The UDMA 100 controller was a bit of overkill, but I got it for the
price of a just-sold-the-last-one, discontinued UDMA 66 model ($30).
I had to chroot to a slackware 7.0 partition to build a static lilo-21.6
to use on my much-modified slackware 96 setup, but that really was the
only necessary solution to my half-a-day's-worth-of-hair-pulling. The
BIOS on the controller sees the disk slightly differently than the BIOS
on the motherboard.
Note: with hdparm -t I get ~0.65 MB/s on the zip 100 using ide-floppy.o
and ~0.85 MB/s with ide-scsi.o
