RE: [newbie] Linmodems
in its simplist terms, a winmodem is a modem where half the hardware has been replaced by software.. so certain stuff that would normally be done by the modem itself is done by your PC's CPU via the driver software.. The problem is that not many winmodem manufactures make linux drivers or even supply the specs so that one may be written. makes it hard to get them working properly. a linmodem is generally one that either had linux drivers supplied for it, or someone has worked out how to write one for it themselves and have released it.. I am of the belief that nothing does as well as a good old serial external modem, it won't need a driver at all, and should have you up and away almost instantly, it also puts alot less load on your PC, since your CPU isnt' doing half the work of the modem. be careful of USB external modems, alot of them are also winmodems. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Kaj Haulrich Sent: Sunday, 16 December 2001 4:17 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Linmodems Roy Barton wrote: ok..

get a functioning modem there is a setup to follow

Apparently, it has something to do with the devfs (file system) and some

Re: [newbie] Linmodems
Try this. Open a shell or terminal window. SU and then type/run modemconf.
This will display a window with an option to autodetect. Select it and if it
finds your modem, it will configure the /dev/modem appropriately. For
instance, under Windows98, my winmodem is on IRQ 3, under Linux, it is IRQ
15. Anyway, assuming it finds it, it means that a) you have the correct
driver installed and b) it should work for you after you accept the settings.
(if you get a command not found error, then you didn't SU before running it!)

Re: [newbie] Linmodems
Hi Roy, I was in the same boat as you. I needed a ltmodem driver for my modem to work. If you could supply a little more information; specifically which modem you are using, which 'rpm' did you use, I might be able to help. There are many on this list who can supply the answers you seek. Regards, Bill W. On Saturday 15 December 2001 23:18, you wrote: ok..

I found problems configuring Kpilot, but Jpilot works just fine for me. Confusingly, Jpilot is under Applications | Communications on the KDE menus, while Kpilot is under Office | PDA. Can't quite see the logic of this. Anyway, if you try Jpilot, just go to File | Preferences | Settings, type in the name of the com port your are attached to and bingo (famous last words I know).

[newbie] LinModems!
Hi all, I just stumbled upon a neat thing. People have started writing Linux drivers for WinModems. And the one that came with my system has a driver. Yay! I was really bummed when I found out that I had a WinModem. And hopefully this will be an immediate help. I do plan on getting a real modem here in the not too distant future, but it's not a priority just yet. For anybody else who is enterested I found out about these at the following sites: http://linmodems.org/ http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html Cheers!

[newbie] Linmodems
Linmodems (http://forum.mandrakesoft.com/article.php3?sid=2905114341) Due to wide avaliability of cheep junk-modems, "How can I get my winmodem working under Linux" question has made it very high on list of Frequently Asked Questions. For a long time, standard answer was "no, forget it", but this has changed lately to "maybe", "some" and "to some extend", because some vendors provided binary-only modules, and there has even been some progress on free-software front. Although this question has already been discussed several times on this forum, I decided to re-launch the story, because of two recent changes on linmodems.org and WG pages: First, there is a new table on gromitkc pages, with list of existing linmodem drivers and links to tarballs. Thus, search for drivers has just been made easier. Second change is that Mikhail Moreyra has written a driver for the CL-MD5620DT (Ambient Tech) chipset, and according to linmodems.org it does PPP! I have no idea how good this driver is, but if you have this winmodem, make sure to try out the driver. So, times are changing in Linmodems land, but don't expect too much. Binary-only drivers are bound to give you problems on next kernel upgrade, and GPL-ed ones are still in vary early stage (though the above mentioned one could be further than I thought), so you should still avoid these monsters if you can, and we will not be able to give you any sort of support if/when something goes wrong.
