Hi Vik, which is why I quoted the model number. I am using the earlier one with out any problem, but the later one XH8290 would not work despite changes of modem usb ports etc, although the lsusb output showed the connector as being mounted.
As I did this in the back of the shop with the Manager, I didn't record the output at the time, and due to my ignorance of tux, don't know where in the logs to look for that information. If you could point me to the appropriate log I would be grateful. How ever the one from Dragon PC just plug and play. cheers Chris T On Fri, 2007-12-07 at 10:55 +1300, Vik Olliver wrote: > On Thu, 2007-12-06 at 14:58 +1300, Chris wrote: > > for those with Lappys using serial Port Modems; General information > > > > The Dick Smith adapter no XH8290, although listed as Linux compatible, > > is not!!! > > Sorry, but I have to disagree a little.
