Dear All,
I downloaded scanmodem utility and here is what I get:
./scanModem
A supported Lucent/Agere DSP chipset modem is identified: PCI_ID=11c1:0440
VENDOR 0x11c1 DEVICE 0x0440
ID are within the serviced ranges for Lucent/Agere DSP modems:
------------------------------------------
LUCENT 0x11c1 0x0440-0x045c
XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0000-0x000F
XIRCOM 0x115d 0x0440-0x045c

Drivers and their compiler kits are available at:
http://www.heby.de/ltmodem/
For more details read the Recording file.
Installers that may suffice are at http://www.heby.de/ltmodem
in the section: mandrake
------------------------------------------------------
ltmodem-kv_2.4.19_16mdk-8.22a5-1.i586.rpm
------------------------------------------------------
The closest match to your i686=CPU is recommended.
For example replacements in order of preference for an
i686 would be i586, i486 and i386
The Kernel_FLavor section MUST match.
If not the ltmodem-8.22a5.tar.gz compiler MUST BE USED.
Please read: ModemData.txt ModemData.txt.2
It is obviously supported so now I have to figure out what to do. I have never
used anything except for the cable setup since using linux so phone modems
will be a new experience. If anyone has experience with these modems or
knows exactly what to do, I will love to here about what you did.
Is it possible to use this modem for faxing and at the same time have the
cable connection?
Thanks.
Marcia
