The database identifies this model as a jumperless isa PNP modem. So the
natural first thought is that you are having pnp problems.
Have you been able to run isapnp to assign the modem to an IRQ and
ioBase?
If you haven't tried to do so ... does Linux identify the modem
during the boot process? (How many serial ports does it identify, and is
there one more than whatever number of serial ports you have in the computer?)
If you've used this modem successfully under Win9x, what IRQ and
ioBase does it show up as there? Have you tried using setserial to assign a
/dev/ttyS* device to that IRQ and ioBase? (Then use setserial to probe the
same device and see if it finds a UART - this tells you that the modem is
really there.)
Do you have /dev/modem set to be a symlink to the /dev/ttyS* entry
that points to the modem?
What Linux app are you using to try to access the modem? How does it
respond (what error message or other behavior occurs)? (You should first be
trying to find the modem with a terminal app like minicom or seyon. If you
are jumping right to PPP, then you might be running into PPP config
problems, not modem problems as such. So do proceed step by step.)
I hope these are enough hints to get you going. If not, please write again,
with more detail about what you've tried and what the results have been, and
perhaps I or someone else can spot the problem more precisely.
