Andy,
Modems can be a pain to set up with Linux. Software driven WinModems for sure do not
work. At
least not yet. Your best bet for an internal modem is to find an ISA modem with
jumpers so you
can change the IRQs and COM ports with ease. Here is a Web Site that has a Linux/Modem
compatibility knowledge base>>>>>>>>>> http://www.kc.net/~gromitkc/20000115a.html
I usually configure the modem setting the jumpers and then I use a basic DOS boot disk
with a
copy of Modem Doctor on it. Modem Doctor will find installed modems and give you a
report on
IRQ and COM port settings. If Modem Doctor can see it, you will be able to get it
working
under Linux. You can get a copy of Modem Doctor at
http://www.modemdoctor.com/index.htm I
have used the technique a number of times and it always works. Do not get frustrated
as you
will get something to work eventually. That is part of the excitement of using Linux,
I guess
you could call it sweat equity.
