that windows info is often misleading IME. Worth a look of course, andA simple other option:
If the laptop still boots WinXP, go to Control Panel - System - Hardware Devices ..
Post us back exactly what the modem is listed as there - brand, model, number etc.
This info could guide us to suggest a distro which sets up the particular modem most easily.
you will see from the thread that thats why vatsala reinstalled windows!
I am interested because I'd like my onboard Conexant going under Ubuntu one day too. (The PCMCIA one goes ok)
and i don't think its a distro issue.The top e.g. is Agere modems that are supported by SuSE out of the box. A recent laptop thread turned out like that (Roger's?)
Kevin the Computer Broker had some network combo cards in July that he was hopeful about.(be ready to consider a PCMCIA modem purchase as well)
assuming it has a pcmcia port LOL.
Do you know any good ones for sale for a reasonable price in chch and
that work with linux?
hth, Rik
PS just looked up the specs, it has one pc card slot, so the pcmcia option should work. the modem is described as :"56k Data/Fax v.92 MDC" - I'll report back to the list after i catch up with vatsala.
