My particular modem (ID'd by FCC number) is labeled in red as a tool-of-Micro$oft winmodem incompatible with Linux, but I'm able to use the Lucent drivers to connect anyway. I don't know how, but I'm not going to argue with the thing. =) B.
RE: [newbie] UsRobotics PCI Modem
I'd say you are.:-) When the Gateway 166 MHz systers were out there were 4 modems they used. Three of these were the Winmodem. IIRC PCI doesn't have anything do to with something being a WIN device. From what I understand a WIN anything depends on Windoze software to function. -Greg- -Original Message-From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of John ArkoulisSent: Sunday, October 29, 2000 6:22 PMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: Re: [newbie] UsRobotics PCI Modem Since when are PCI modems not WINmodems???

Re: [newbie] UsRobotics PCI Modem
Javier: Are you are certain that it is not a winmodem? Although not all PCI modems are winmodems, most are. USR makes both kinds. The best place to settle the question is www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html. It contains a very long list of modems (sorted by manufacturer), and tells you if it is a real modem (good news - although you've still got a problem, it's probably solvable, a winmodem (bad news- probably won't work), or a linmodem -- that's a winmodem for which a Linux driver has been written. The site also has a lot of links to other sites dedicated to modems. If you do have a real modem, then the problem may be with Plug-and-(sometimes)Play. I had this problem with my Zoom modem, and I got around it be changing the jumpers on the card from pnp to com whatever.
