A sort of pre-sales query -- I've got a 3Com/US Robotics 56K Professional Message Modem, which worked fine with Mandrake 7.2, SuSE 7.0 and 7.1, and currently (on the same PC) with Windows 98 s.e, but not SuSE 7.2.
In SuSE's default dialler kinternet (much like kppp except for the security vulnerabilities), a successful connection that progesses beyond the modem handshake is apparently impossible. The same is true of wvdial; rather than a usable connection, xconsole merely reports "linux pppd [xxxx] Couldn't release PPP unit: Inappropriate ioctl for device". kppp sometimes obtains a successful connection as opposed to a time-out, but not on a reliable basis. It should be pointed out that when the Message Modem is replaced by a Diamond 56e Pro, using the same settings, no problems arise. So I was wondering what results people were experiencing with their Professional Message Modems in Mandrake 8.1... Thanks in advance, Michael
