If it is Conexant, then it is almost certainly a winmodem, and as such not supported by Mandrake. You can get some winmodems working by checking out www.linmodems.org A winmodem uses the computer processor to do all the difficult 'stuff' and so will consume a considerable proportion of your processing power under both Linux and Windows. If you upgrade to a 'real' modem, performance will be better in windows and a lot less complicated to install in Linux. You can confirm it is a winmodem by opening your system control panel in Windows. If there is a device listed as 'HCF' or 'HSP' (not sure since its a while since I ran Windows), then it is a winmodem. HTH derek
