Re: [newbie] conflict between USR modem and Com 2?
cat is short for catolog like the type command in dos, it just shows it to the screen (as default) unless you direct it to a printer que. in order to copy the info to a file, (without the quotes, in the text console, as root, in a users (named et for me) home directory) I do a touch proc-pci this creates a file named proc-pci. then I do chmod 775 this lets everyone and everything see and write to this file (see man chmod for more info about that) then I do cat /proc/pci|/home/et/proc-pci (after the /proc/pci is a pipe (above the \ on the key board) this file you can copy (as root if root was who created the mount points (most common as is done during install)) to your windows drive with cp /home/et/proc-pci /mnt/win_c/whatever folder in windows you want of course you must change the folder and drive names to match whatever you have. We CAN be sure that some 3 com modem are win-modems, since the name Winmodem is a registered trademark of the 3com corp.

Will do the cat command and then view it and see if I can pick anything up about the controller. E, real newbie question: How do I view the file I created with cat or will that let me view its contents as well? Should I perhaps open the file in a web browser like Konquerer or summit?

BTW, I like using 'less' better Back to the original topic tho. Yes, USR invented Winmodems©, but they make many models that aren't, including internal pci hardware modems. Probly their best known, least expensive is the model #2977 56k fax/ modem, ~$38 up. OTOH, they make a lot of modems that go into 'ready made' computers, and they are almost always winmodems (if you've got a Dell with a USR modem it's a safe bet it's a winmodem). Somebody else in this thread said 'linmodems, not a winmodem'. Linmodems are winmodems, but with a software kludge that gets 'em to work with Linux about as well a fake modem ever can, and at the expense of the rest of your system. What can ya expect from a $2 winmodem (no matter what you got hoodwinked into payin for it)? -- Tom Brinkman _ South Texas, USA_ Q: Minnesotans ask, Why aren't there more pharmacists from Alabama?

Do man cat: Name cat -- concatenate files and print on the standard output.
