RE: [eug-lug]HELLO!
I got this modem used and I really didn't use it so I've been playing with the modem to see if it is ok. I have been getting some intermittent login errors and normally these modems are rock solid. I have two other US Robotics Externals that I use regularly with no problems. I did test it with windows / Redhat 8.0 and was getting on at 50k. I say its o.k., but if you have some problems just remember this. Your going to need the transformer (9V at 1000 mA) and a serial to parallel cable (modem 25 pin com1 9 pin.) I will drop it off at EFN on Friday morning.

A universal adapter will work too. Just don't try finding what I need. DC 24V 1.2A! Nobody in town has that but Radio Hack, Norvac, WalMart, and others have the universals for as little as $10. --- baggab [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a external US robotics 56K modem without the AC/DC adaptor (transformer) for you.

Re: [eug-lug]HELLO!
to help debug this you will probably need to supply the following info the output of dmesg (excerpt the line where it says something about your modem) the output of lsmod so that we know what kernel drivers are already loaded You should also make sure you can find thhe modem configurator (this will depend on your desktop/distro) in a pinch you can use pppconfig On Monday, March 22, 2004, at 12:30 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: it's an Intel HaM Data Fax Voice modem. i'll check on the chipset and get back..thanks!

If you go to the Other OS you can list the properties. That should tell you what model it is. if i need to get a modem what should i get? If you don't mind an extra box, an external modem is much easier to setup and troubleshoot. I have a number of USR 56k Externals that I have had nothing but good luck with. Of course now that I have broadband, I don't mess with modems anymore thanks! ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug

If you need another modem, it should be the external serial variety. I had one of these, but I think last fall I gave it to someone or other. The external serial port modems are the ones that are essentially guaranteed to work. Non-winmodem ISA modems work, and with the right drivers about half of the PCI modems out there work. USB is hit and miss for modems. PCMCIA usually works, but not always. External serial is the safe bet. ___ EuG-LUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.efn.org/cgi-bin/listinfo/eug-lug
Re: [eug-lug]HELLO!
I have an external modem, it works wonders. Connects through a serial port, works with anything, plus I can use it for troubleshooting. I'd recommend springing for the extra dough if you are going to be forced to use dialup, as I also got better connection speeds with it, and used less resources on my computer.

Re: [eug-lug]Hello, The Windows Virus
Hi Andrew -- good to see you here !!! All: Andrew is one of the youngest members on our list -- so be nice! About those 3 yrs ago I gave him a SUSE 5.2 pack I got from Jamie whom I had met at 5th St. Allen Brother 2(?) yrs before -- that's one of the places where EugLUG used to meet when it was still ELUG. So it's a nice local story, coming full circle :-) Andrew is the son of a friend, and at that time he was about 13 -- he walked away with the SUSE CD and figured out Linux all by himself, well almost (we spent a couple of hours on the phone, having fun). He is *the* next generation! --- Now, as for Win virus' I'd check first http://www.symantec.com/avcenter http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html - Horst ~ In reply to: Date: Tue, 27 Jan 2004 19:57:23 -0500 (EST) From: Bill Essig [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [eug-lug]Hello, The Windows Virus Hello, first off, I am Andrew Wilson.
