Re: Winmodem Article and Until

[Jason]

Yes, it does work, but provided nothing useful on my work laptop's 
modem. Well, nothing more than I sort of already knew from lspci 
(basically I'm screwed but it's ok as I have ADSL at work and home now). 
But yes, for a quick util, it is great. Now it needs a GUI...just had to 
say that! =)

Cheers

Certainly one of the
most prominent has to be scanModem (on this month’s cover disk or a tiny
20KB downloadable from this website
<http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages>). It’s goal is to identify
chipsets so that users “can be directed to sources of potentially
supporting software”. But does it perform? I put it to the test.


It works. It's a huge shell script which parses the output from lspci and 
creates messages accordingly. A simple solution to the "How do I get my modem 
going" problem.

I wish someone would do the same kind of thing for scanners and then there 
would not be any excuse not to use Linux on a day to day basis.
