Dear all, Please help - I am only one step away from configuring Linux (Mandrake 7.1) and removing Windows from my machine FOREVER :) At present I can't get Linux to recognise my modem - I am pretty sure that it is not a Winmodem (there isn't anything anywhere that says it is a Winmodem – the words "HSP, HCF, or DSP" do not appear at all). It is a 56K Main-Daughter-Card clone, not a PCMCIA card, but built on the mother board. If I were to install the drivers under Windows the Modem will come up under: '? Other Devices' -> '? PCI Card' in the Device Manager and would run in COM3 (ttsy2). Yes - it was not listed under ‘modems’ in Windows, but under '? Other Devices'. Although when the Windows driver was installed it magically changed to a modem!?! I didn't try on configure it while installing Linux. I have tried kppp since installation and then tried to communicate with it, but it says that the modem is busy? So I presume it is there – just doing something – maybe a lock file somewhere? This is all the information that I can obtain from the modem: MODEM 56K MDC COM 3 IRQ 5 Address D800 Manufacturer - Compact Flash Technology The laptop is a Chicony MP-995 machine. What I can get from the manual is: Intel BGA-1 on board uPGA-1 socket for Celeron Intel 440MX Any guesses / answers? Should I have configured it whilst installation - or does this not matter?
