Run this program, either the Windows version on your MS system, or the Linux version on Linux. That should give you more details about your modem to help you find the right driver, if it's available. It's does seem that you have a HSF chipset modem though. Theoretically, the mbsi driver should work for you. Follow the instructions provided on mbsi's site very carefully. Have you tried compiling the generic driver package from source? I have a HCF Conexant modem, and get very good results with the mbsi driver. I do compile the generic source rpm on my machine. I get better performance doing that. I believe my winmodem actually works better as a Linmodem! However, YMMV, as always. Also, there is a tar package which may well be worth a try too. It can be quite discouraging to a new Linux user to try to get a winmodem to work. I know what it's like! Some can be made to work however, and work quite well too. I hope you get on-line w/Linux! Good luck to you. :-) --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness."--James Thurber *********************************************** *Reg.
