Re: Modem compiles, no action

[Douglas Royds]

Thanks, all. I'll take a look at some of your suggestions, and get back 
to you with more info.

It is the dreaded winmodem. The laptop uses a SiS630/730 chipset, so I 
downloaded the driver from, um, somewhere, can't remember where just 
now. I'll find that out, too. I know that this whole exercise may be 
doomed, but it's worth a bit of debugging before spending hard-earned 
$$$ down at Dick Smith on an external USB or PCMCIA modem. Also, as a 
matter of principle, I want to see whether it can be done, and to post 
my findings on linux-for-laptops (if I succeed).

Douglas.
