You're going to want to find out what the chipset is for that modem - that way, you can search out the proper modem driver and get it installed - if it's not already. While in Windows, do a RIGHT-CLICK on "My Computer" and choose MANAGE - then on the left side, choose DEVICE MANAGER, then scroll through and find your modem - expand that branck, then highlight it and RIGHT-CLICK and then choose PROPERTIES - you should find an ADVANCED tab in there somewhere, or even the DIAGNOSTICS - when you run the DIAGNOSTIC one of the first lines it spits out is the modem ID string - that's what you need to know. Once you find out that little trite piece of info, you can browse through the www.linmodems.org page and find the driver; my telling is that it's probably a Lucent WinModem or HCF/HST/HSF PCI modem (Lucent/PCTel) - which there are drivers for...so all is not lost yet... -- Sat Aug 30 21:20:00 EST 2003 21:20:00 up 5 days, 11:06, 3 users, load average: 0.82, 0.76, 0.62 ----------------------------------------------------------------- | __ __ | illawarra computer services | | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |================================| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | ----------------------------------------------------------------- linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-13mdk Cooker for i586 ----------------------------------------------------------------- * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * "If Jesus came back today, and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up." -- Max Von Sydow's character in "Hannah and Her Sisters"
