Lindsay, Instead of leaping in and buying an external modem, lets try a little basic troubleshooting.
Is this a problem that suddenly developed, with the modem having worked in mepis before? Or has the modem never worked in mepis? Has the modem worked in other distributions of linux, if so which ones? Are there any helpful, messages in your log files? By the way if lspci is telling the truth, your modem should be powered by the lt_modem and lt_serial kernel drivers. (That is if it works with linux at all). Please tell us whether those modules are loaded. lsmod will tell you. dmesg is also a useful command, it lists the kernel messages for your system. take a look at its output to see if you can find what the kernel says about your ltmodem, and loading its modules. try dmesg|grep -i lt On Sun, 2005-04-03 at 22:28 +1200, Lindsay wrote: > Found something I think. > Lucent Microelectronics 56k WinModem (rev 01) > > On Mon, 2005-04-04 at 11:04 +1200, Keith McGavin wrote: > > On Sun, Apr 03, Lindsay wrote: > > > Correct kppp & internal modem (56k) > > > > 'lspci -v' should give info on the 56k modem. > > > > > > > > -- > > keith. > > > > > > > > > > > -- Nick Rout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
