Subject: [newbie] Modem driver?
I located my modem at IRQ 3, address 0x02f8, ttyS1. Unfortunately, it is
perpetually "busy" to kppp and minicom, on trying to use it, can't talk
sense to it apparently. I checked, and it's a dreaded "host-controlled"
modem, nearly as bad as a Winmodem. (I didn't choose it; it came
preinstalled by the computer OEM, along with, naturally, Windows 98).
Anyone know where drivers for these can be found? Rockwell's site is a maze
that will turn any sane man into a lunatic in minutes...
It's a Rockwell HCF 56K internal modem. It has fax and voice stuff on it,
but I don't care about getting those working-data would be fine. I tried the
"+H0" in the init string that turns off error correction and flow control,
having read in a HOWTO somewhere that some Rockwell host controlled modems
just offload these functions to software-a rough surf would be better than
no surf. Apparently, it doesn't work with this modem.

Unfortunately, HCF modems are winmodems in disguise. Need to get another
type or get an external one.
Sorry
