I think the creative internals are win modems.. but don't quote me on that..
As for the com2 problem, are you runnign out of IRQ's??? I have not heard of a modem needing other com ports disabled unless you have run out of spare IRQ's.. as a rule, I always get external serial modems, then there is never any issue. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Hylton Conacher (ZR1HPC) Sent: Thursday, 6 December 2001 3:51 PM To: Mandrake Linux newbie Subject: [newbie] conflict between modem and Com 2? 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
