I have recently purchased a new machine and have had to take it back to the store as the modem is giving me hassles. The machine is an AMD Thunderbird 1Ghz with what I believe, or have been told is, a Creative modem 56kb/s in it.
I have paid for the machine but feel that as they knew it was going to only have Linux (Mdk 8) on it that they should have made sure the hardware supplied i.e. the modem worked under Linux without having to disable Com 2. Can anyone confirm/deny that the conflict is there? Surely a brand new machine needn't have part of its hardware, Com 2, disabled for it to work with a modem? Is the make of the modem the problem i.e. is it a winmodem or semi winmodem? Comments please as I am due to pick up the machine tomorrow or perhaps later today. TIA
