Can you paste the output of : # lspci # cat /proc/pci # cat /proc/ioports # cat /proc/interrupts # lsmod and also give the URLs for the drivers you have downloaded From the Helpfile you included it sounds like a PCI hardware modem, which should be straightforward. http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/topic/topic_tp560i.html has specs for the TP560i chipset. Can you see that chipset on the modem itself ? from : http://modemdriver.com/linuxfirst.htm : "5. How about PCI modems? Are all PCI modems winmodems? No, there are at least three types of controller-based PCI modems. They are somewhat more difficult to set up than a jumpered ISA modem or an external serial port modem. Linux 2.4 will probably include automagic setup of PCI hardware modems. If you are curious, these modems are: Lucent Venus chipset: Multitech MT5634ZPX-PCI, Actiontec PCI56012 (IBM 33L4618 or GVC MD0223) USR/TI Kermit chipset: the 3Com/USR 3CP5610 family, which includes models 5613, 5609, and OEM models 2976, 2977, and 3258 TOPIC TP560i chipset: Zoom 2920 (Digitan DS550-558), Well Communications FM-56PCI-TP (GVC MD0321), and Archtek Smartlink 5634PCV. Conexant RC56D-PCI chipset: none observed yet" If it's a hardware modem (PCI card, TP560i chipset on card), it should be supported under Linux without requiring a driver. However you also mention it's an "AMR modem" from the MODEM-HOWTO : http://www.fokus.gmd.de/linux/HOWTO/Modem-HOWTO-2.html#ss2.6 AMR modems : These are all winmodems that insert into a special AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot on the motherboard. Audio cards are sometimes used in this slot. The slot's main use is for HSF type modems where the CPU does almost all of the work. This results in a small modem card and thus a short AMR slot. Such a "modem" is actually little more than a codec which transforms digital signals representing an analog voltage wave into the analog wave itself (and conversely). Linux supports at least one of them. If the modem looks like what's described above it could be trickier. Soundcard : http://linux-sxs.org/yamdsg.html seems to have a good tutorial for the sound-card. the snippet : > Unresolved symbols in > /lib/modules/2.4.18-6mdk/alsa/snd-card-ymfpci.o.gz Aug 13 07:25:56 > localhost rc.sysinit: Finding module dependencies: failed > may suggest that other alsa modules may need to be loaded first eg in /etc/conf.modules there should be something like : # ALSA native device support alias char-major-116 snd options snd snd_major=116 snd_cards_limit=1 alias snd-card-0 snd-card-ymfpci options snd-card-interwave snd_index=0 snd_id="YMF724" # OSS/Free setup alias char-major-14 soundcore alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0 alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss > AMR voice modem connected on Com 3 and IRQ 05 > Which from what I can gather is a Smartlink modem.
