But USB modems aren't hardware/external modems, they are usually controllerless software modems that require a Windows-only driver. The USB modem that I won in the St.Austell raffle doesn't work with RH or Mdk. (or Debian3) - there aren't any drivers available to configure it. (as far as I can tell). Works fine with Windows. If you could get a USB modem that was actually a true external (previously serial) modem, it would work with any kernel. I haven't seen any. I expect Phil is using a laptop with a PCI internal modem already available - your best solution, Phil, is to go to the linmodems site and use scanmodem to make sure that your internal PCI modem is truly unsupported - you are more likely to find a working PCI internal software modem than you are to find a working USB software modem. http://www.dclug.org.uk/archive/msg00222.html > > > Could some kind soul recommend an available, supported USB or PCMCIA > > modem that works with redhat 7.3? PCMCIA modems are (in terms of driver support) no different to PCI or USB, it's just that as more people have PCI, the drive or drivers (!!) is more widespread for PCI than for either USB or PCMCIA. PCMCIA network cards are usually the best use of the slot on your laptop. - -- Neil Williams ============= http://www.codehelp.co.uk http://www.dclug.org.uk http://www.wewantbroadband.co.uk/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+QrZfiAEJSii8s+MRAmyNAKCGeWP3fcaRl2h2sQxCNsvJLpmNtgCgw6Rs njJatq+5voslX2z9jr51sP4= =rvBu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG Mail majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxx with "unsubscribe list" in the message body to unsubscribe.
