[LUG] Sagem ADSL & Mandrake 9.2

[matthewbyrom <matthewbyrom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if anyone had a similar set up to mine:

Sagem F@xx 800 ADSL Modem (Connects via USB)
Mandrake 9.2 (reasonably fresh install, no updates done yet)

Does anyone know of a patronisingly simple guide to get this modem to
talk to Mandrake?

The Drakconf tool doesn't seem to want to save any settings.

There are drivers supplied from the vendor. They appear to be
specifically for MDK9.1 and the instructions give no indication of what
to do when it doesn't work.

Forums have said that MDK9.2 has better third party drivers than the
vendor already installed, but I just can't seem to get this thing to
connect.

If anyone has any advice on this I'd be grateful. I totally ruined the
connection settings for my last install trying all this and if there's
anyone with a similar setup and a success story I'd be glad to hear it.

Thanks,

       Matthew.
