andy...im not sure about that this modem is not a win modem. the probability
of using system resources by this device is very high if it's onboard. on
the other hand you have to be sure about that you have enabled your onboard
modem from bios settings. but the best way to get specific info about your
modem is to contact with the manufacturor. if you can't find their site, try
finding it from www.windrivers.com. i hope you achive your goal and remove
windows from your system FOREVER. best regards;
Ozgur.

Subject: [newbie] 56K MDC modem not working...
Date: Wed, 27 Sep 2000 12:33:25 GMT
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?
Many thanks in advance,
Andy
