Re: [newbie] RE: stop email please
The Winmodem will not work in Linux, because part of the firmware for the modem is simulated in software. Any ISA modem with jumper or dip switches for port and IRQ configuration should work OK. You do not have to use a 56K v.90 modem if you do not want to, however, you will get better connect speeds if you do.

No. LINUX supports any modem that's not a WinModem [or USB]. Please state your modem and type and we shall see.

Re: [newbie] RE: stop email please
Linux WILL NOT recognize "Winmodems", only hardware modems. I have Mandrake 6.5 and got a USRobotics 56K voice modem which is recognized by Linux when the modem is not set up for plug and play. It needs to be set up for com 4 and IRQ 3 with the jumpers on the card. Good Luck. - Original Message - From: "marcelo pimentel" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 10:41 AM Subject: [newbie] RE: stop email please I recently purchashed Linux-Mandrake 6.5 and I am not able to configure the modem so that it connects to the internet.

Re: [newbie] RE: stop email please
If it has to load "emulators" when the modem is installed in Windows, it's probably (surely) a Winmodem. Hardware modem don't need "emulators", they do the processing themselves, not the CPU. - Original Message - From: "Balaji Prasad" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, December 30, 1999 11:33 AM Subject: Re: [newbie] RE: stop email please how does identify whether one has a WinModem or not ..

Re: [newbie] RE: stop email please
As a rule, you could almost bet the farm that ANY internal PCI modem (NOT ISA -
and regardless of brand) is a winmodem.
