Dear all, Here is some updated info. on my modem if anybody out there can help :) This is from the Windows driver. ********** On starting Windows for the first time after installing the 56K MDC modem, the Plug and Play (PnP) sub-system detects the new hardware and begins an install wizard for the modem. The 56K MDC modem is detected as a new PCI Card... Modem: 56 Kbps (K56Flex and V.90) V.34 (4.8 Kbps to 33.6 Kbps) V.32 bis (4.8 Kbps to 14.4 Kbps) V.22 bis (50 bps to 2.4 Kbps) V21, Bell 103 / Bell 212 Automode V.42 bis/MNP 5 data compression V.42/MNP 2-4 error correction Virtual Com port with a throughput of up to 460.8 Kbps Hayes AT Command set TIES escape code ********** Please help - I am only one step away from configuring Linux (Mandrake 7.1) and removing Windows from my machine FOREVER :) At present I can't get Linux to recognise my modem - I am pretty sure that it is not a Winmodem (there isn't anything anywhere that says it is a Winmodem - the words "HSP, HCF, or DSP" do not appear at all). It is a 56K Main-Daughter-Card clone, not a PCMCIA card, but built on the mother board. If I were to install the drivers under Windows the Modem will come up under: '? Other Devices' -> '? PCI Card' in the Device Manager and would run in COM3 (ttsy2). Yes - it was not listed under 'modems' in Windows, but under '? Other Devices'. Although when the Windows driver was installed it magically changed to a modem!?! I didn't try on configure it while installing Linux. I have tried kppp since installation and then tried to communicate with it, but it says that the modem is busy? So I presume it is there just doing something - maybe a lock file somewhere? This is all the information that I can obtain from the modem: MODEM 56K MDC COM 3 IRQ 5 Address D800 Manufacturer - Compact Flash Technology The laptop is a Chicony MP-995 machine. What I can get from the manual is: Intel BGA-1 on board uPGA-1 socket for Celeron Intel 440MX Any guesses / answers? Should I have configured it whilst installation - or does this not matter? Many thanks in advance, Andy
