The first thing... about the modem... there are a lot
of information about the real modems and the winmodems
(or toy modems)... and because the winmodems are not
based on standards of hardware and communications but
on them own cheap technologi... is hard to make every
winmodem works on Linux.
The external modems (real modems) are built with
hardware and software standards for communications so
if you programm a driver for the standard
communication protocol.. you can be shure it will work
with all external modems... but if you try to programm
a driver that aplyes only to some kind of hardware...
there are no wharanty that this will work with all the
hadware.
Nevertheles if the driver you found says that works
with youre specific winmodem... maybe you have to get
deeply on its docummentation.... or get a real
modem...
The Second thing.
Is not that MCC desn't save youre internet
configuration .. is just that you are overwriting
this.
Let's think that youre modem allready worked... and
you configure something like kppp to make a dialup
connection or any other... so if you done well you
will be connected to the internet any time you dial
and youre configuration will be saved. But if you use
the wizzard... any time you get into, will be
overwriting youre configuration.
If you need more help with any of this isues just
mail us.
