Just wanted to report the successfull installation of WINMODEM function on a Compaq Armada 1500c laptop. This laptop comes with an internal modem described as a
Compaq Armada 56K V90 but which Roger J. Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> related (for a later Armada model) is a winmodem with the Lucent Tech chip. Thus use was attempted of the linux586.zip kit downloaded from http://www.linmodems.org . This kit makes a /dev/ttyS14 node and supplies a Lucent alpha binary ltmodem.o which had been compiled under kernel-source-2.2.12. CONFIG_MODVERSIONS Yes was chosen during compilation of my 2.2.14 module, to allow use of the 2.2.12 version module. Forcing (-f) is still needed to install the module: insmod -f ltmodem With changes ln -sf /dev/ttyS14 /dev/modem and the ttyS specification in /etc/ppp/peers/provider the establishment of PPP connection via the winmodem was troublefree.
