Win Modems are lacking needed hardware that is replaced by Win dll's. You
can't use one under Linux - I have the same problem, and am hoping to get a
new modem soon.

Subject: [newbie] Xwin probs
ok, got the boot all set up and xwin working right, but now I have two new
big problems. number 1 I can only run in 600 x 480 resolution. If I try
anything else I get a bunch of errors and the screen starts blinking and
printing cryptic remarks over and over on the screen. A real mess. This
isn't all that bad except that I can't see the whole of all the windows. Eg.
I can't hit the ok button for some windows cause I can't see it!
Also, my modem doesn't work under linux. It's on comm2 which should be tty2
or whatever that is, but if I select it, I always get a "modem is busy" or
"modem didn't respond" does this with all settings. I have a U.S. Robotics
winmodem is there a way I can use this in linux?
