Thanks Phil and David for the information. I did check those websites that Phil mentioned. I purchased the full version of linuxant modem. It costs cheaper than an external modem.
Again thanx for the help guys.

However, I can't verify the modem's status - hell, I don't even have a land phone line to test it with :) Check this out if you haven't already, it's for FC3: http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mmastran/fedora-core-3/ (specifically http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~mmastran/fedora-core-3/modem - he says he got it to work with the Linuxant.com drivers but the full version costs $15 and the free version only works at 14.4K) but! on the bright side: http://www.progsoc.org/~wildfire/notes/dell700m.html claims that it's a smlink modem and they actually have drivers on their site (!) located here: http://www.smlink.com/content.aspx?id=132 (local mirror here: http://wmuc.umd.edu/~andersop/data/slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz ) those directions are for debian specifically, but it seems that they center around the package "slmodem" (which comes from the smlink site above), and also installing libasound2-dev and compiling the modem driver with alsa support. then, the driver can be run as a daemon with ./slmodem -a 'modem:1' as root. Good luck - I've managed to get almost everything else running on there under gentoo, except the power managment (blah, what a mess) and On Tue, 12 Jul 2005, David Zakar wrote: > Just to head it off, blah blah, you should buy an external serial modem. > With that out of the way... > > Could you be more specific about what you tried, regarding the linmodem > drivers?
