Well the only response to the message you sent was the best on. The reason why I didn't respond to your post. The solutions that would cause the least amount of headaches would be to buy a REAL modem. Even if you did get the WinModem working, you'd be sending posts asking why it disconnects like it does. All because poorly written beta drivers for something never intended to run under a real operating system. But, just to humor you, since you seem to feel neglected at the lists "failure" to help you, I'll offer some help for your problem. You may need a newer and/or recompiled kernel to accept the module for your "modem." Not knowing which version of Mandrake, or what kernel you're using, I couldn't speculate as to what is needed. When you found that your modem actually has a driver for Linux, still doesn't mean it will work for your machine, with your kernel, or even with Mandrake. Mandrake is becoming more and more popular, and more mainstreamed (As much as Linux can be at this point in time.) but those drivers were written and compiled for RedHat 6.2 or RedHat 7.0. Maybe even Debian, so you may even need to compile the driver yourself in hopes of getting it to work under your Mandrake machine. But let's not get into the state of mind where people think if there's a driver, especially beta, then it's supported under Linux. And this is a Users List. Just because you post an question, doesn't mean it's going to be responded to. If you don't get a response, try posting it to the EXPERT list. Or try going to MandrakeCampus.com, or going through more doc pages. I've posted quite a few questions to the board that nobody replies to. Either they don't read it, or they have no clue on how to help. Keep that in mind as well as take some recommendations with a grain of salt. What worked for them, may not work for you. As well as any sort of formated text is the first kind of email to get deleted. For those of us that use console based mailers like pine, elm, or mutt, HTML emails aren't worth the ~/.mailcap entry. tdh -- T.
