Re: [newbie] Modem Help

I've discovered that, when you enter win98 and check
in the system properties for your modem, if it states
the modem as being HCF, then it is controllerless and
will not work with Linux...

sorry if I've repeated the obvious!!!

[newbie] MMM (more modem miseries)....

2000-05-02 Thread pRiZnA 

Hi all,

Does anyone know if the rockwell chipset is supported
for mandrake 7.0, I read it somewhere that it is, then
I read that most internal modems are not, I'm
confused..

I've seen the list on "linux-mandrake.com" for the
supported hardware and that states it that "most
modems are supported, and most winmodems are not"
(huh)!!! I'm sure it could've been helpful than
that

thanks

[newbie] Award BIOS problem

2000-04-27 Thread pRiZnA 

Hi all,

Yesterday I opened my system to see if I can disable
my PnP modem somehow, I failed in that process,
because it was a Winmodem (jumperless).

however something happened, that just failed to boot
my PC,

I started linux first, it was OK, then I started
Windows and it just said "updating system settings"
and FROZE, when I hit the reset key, nothing appeared
on the screen after that, no beeps, nothing

I checked the CPU (Pentium II) and memory on another
board (its OK), I'm now suspecting the BIOS chip
(Award PCI/ISA 686), any suggestions.

Thanks in advance

pR!ZnA
