[LUG] NetWaiting + modem on hold
Linux is not currently a supported operating system. The Caller ID
function of the modem is only supported with the Netwaiting software,
which is a Windows only program. It may be some time before Linux
programmers are able to get a Modem On Hold application working for V.92
modems for your flavor of Linux.
That was the response from Zoom Modem Tech Support in answer to a query
I sent them.
I use a Compaq5100 Pro Workstation loaded with Mandrake V.9.0 Kernel 2.4
19-16 linux-smp. Also have my old Windows 95 box which has PCI version
of Zoom 3025 which comes with NetWaiting and Modemonhold. Works OK with
all bells & whistles and is just what I need on my dial up connection to
Telewest. The 3049 External Modem works OK out of the box on the
Compaq5100 but I cannot load the NetWaiting and MOH programmes which I
need from the CD
Anybody who can suggest a fairly simple solution to the problem will do
me a big favour. My own thoughts run on four solutions.
1) network the two box on a lan and connect to net via Windows Box.
2) delve into the murky depths (and for me uncharted waters) of WINE /SAMBA
3) have extracted NetWaiting files onto disk - possible conversion of
these files to suitable format.
4) bring the whole kaboodle to next install fest.
At the present time have large quantities of egg on face as I persuaded
several of my fellow
silver surfers to switch to Linux and as they, with one exception ,use
Telewest Dial up and are anxious to use the V92 protocol now available
to them are not pleased.(understatement of the month)
I realise this problem is probably not of interest to the bulk of List
Members so please feel free to email me direct if you wish.
Thanks in Advance. Phil from Frome.
