[newbie] Modem Question
Hi All, Just a quick question on my modem for my laptop. It is detected by Mandrake (I'm using 9.0) as PCTEL 2304 WT V.92 MDC Modem. When my computer boots into Linux, I get a message saying that Device at 0:1f:6 is unavailable due to resource confliction and looking at my hardware list in the control center that device would be my integrated modem. I was wondering what, if anything, I have to do to resolve this confliction and if this modem is supported by Linux at all. Any help is appreciated, even if nothing can be done. Thanks in advance.

Matt First thing to do is to look at the actual specs on your modem - the chipset might be PCTEL, but there might be another controlling chip on board - either which, there are many drivers (3d party) that you might be able to give a go at - one place to check would be at: http://www.linmodems.org/ You might not be able to locate a Mandrake specific package (RPM), but you might be able to get some source code to compile - which can be tricky, but most integrated modems - either Rockwell or PCTel can be made to work - and sometimes made to work better under linux than under Windows. See what kind of specs you can dig up on the modem, check the site above, get all the possible details together that you can, then see where we can go from there!

Re: [newbie] modem question
I convinced a friend of mine to try out mdk9 but she had an HSF modem and couldn't afford to replace it. Googled the link to Marc Boucher's driver for the HSF moden I installed the driver and ran hsfconfig to set the country code etc but kpp could not find the device . simple solution was to make a link in /dev/ to ttySHSF0 and run kpp again this worked like a charm... Works really well and saves going to the added expense of buying a 'hardware' modem. It's often difficult to convince people to try 'nix' if they have to spend money replacing hardware that works (tongue in cheek) with the offerings form M$. It was a useful exercise in demonstrating how flexible linux is and how you can do it yourself to fix problems.

Someone suggested I disable that then my modem will show up, but as I don't know what it is and it all came with my computer, I have no idea how to do that, so I'd rather stay away from that. You will find Mandrake Control Centre great for setting things up. On the bottom bar you should have an icon like a black screen with a spanner across it? Click on that to open up MCC. Assuming that you have a hardware modem, the wizard there will help you set up with little or no input. If you have a winmodem it will be a little harder, and someone else will advise you on that.

Hi, The init strings sent to the modem when you start a connection ALSO set the modem speaker volume. If you are using mdk8 and kde with the kde internet dialer, then if you press on setup, and go to the device tab, you will see a slider for volume level. move it to the right and you should hear the sounds that you grew accustomed to in windows.

Re: [newbie] Modem Question
I have a pci 3Com/USRobotics 56K FaxModem model 5610 on one computer and I got it to work with setserial. I looked in the KDE System Control Communications Control to get the port and irq. All the traditional places like /proc/pci didn't help much, it was listed there but very vague (unknown device) and since my sound card was pci and video card is agp (it is listed in some places as pci). But if you're going to buy a new one, Herman's suggestion to get an isa is a good one. I have an isa SupraExpress on this other machine and sndconfig set it up when it did the isa soundcard.

If it is, please provide some information or a link to information where I can learn how to configure it. If it is not, please let me know what the best kind of dial-up modem is for linux. Thank you in advance, Franklyn
Re: [newbie] Modem Question
Franklyn, I would like to point out that Winmodems are not modems. However, I think the following links will explain: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html http://www.linmodems.org/ Roman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear techies, I am running linux mandrake 7.2 complete edition.

If it is, please provide some information or a link to information where I can learn how to configure it. If it is not, please let me know what the best kind of dial-up modem is for linux.

Re: [newbie] Modem Question!?
For me the best modem for Linux is an external serial port modem. I am using a 3com/usr which costs a bit more but is well worth it. Has worked with everything from SCO, NT, Solaris, Linux of all types.

See I think I should get an ISA modem that uses Jumper cables...so the computer actually treats it like an external serial modem...what do you all think?? Proper external modems are much eaiser to configure than ISA 3COM=best (protect your computer from lightning strikes on phone lines too..) I got a 2nd hand 33.6 Dynalink for about US$ 30.00 (ripped off!) that isn't much slower than my 56k winmodem is in W98. I'd get a 3COM one, but it was that or a Voodoo3! -- Full plate packing steel! - Minsk
