not true... lucent is not the only one.. conexant hsf and hcf modems work in linux as well, in fact they have rpm's designed specifically for mandrake 8.1 and 8.2. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carroll Grigsby Sent: Tuesday, 28 May 2002 12:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] cannot get modem device ID with cat /proc/pci On Sunday 26 May 2002 02:23 pm, you wrote: Hi, I'm using Mandrake on two computers.

For a Conexant winmodem you can find drivers for Red Hat and Mandrake at www.olitec.com ! Good luck ! Walter On Sunday 26 May 2002 02:23 pm, you wrote: Hi, I'm using Mandrake on two computers.

Re: [newbie] cannot get modem device ID with cat /proc/pci
Frank: What I meant was the some Lucent-based modems will work under Linux, but other Lucent-based modems won't -- it depends on the specific Lucent chipset. Part of Alan's problem is that Mandrake identifies the modem as a 3Com, but Windows says its a Lucent. His best hope is that Windows is right, and Mandrake is wrong (well, it COULD happen -- yeah, right), and that he's got one of the Lucent chipsets that will work. OTOH, perhaps he got some bad information about the 3Com modem; he can check that out at the address that I gave him. Sorry for the confusion. -- cmg On Monday 27 May 2002 01:24 pm, Franki wrote: not true... lucent is not the only one.. conexant hsf and hcf modems work in linux as well, in fact they have rpm's designed specifically for mandrake 8.1 and 8.2. rgds Frank -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Carroll Grigsby Sent: Tuesday, 28 May 2002 12:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] cannot get modem device ID with cat /proc/pci On Sunday 26 May 2002 02:23 pm, you wrote: Hi, I'm using Mandrake on two computers.
