Re: [newbie] problème de modem
If it is their PCI modem it won't work they do make serveral isa modems that are useable, and any drivers will never be in the mainstream kernel Both Linus Torvalds and Alan Cox have stated such.

Did you intend to use it with Linux when you got it?

I don't know very much about French, but I think I get the general idea of what you're saying. KPPP tells me that my modem is busy, too. My modem is internal as well and might be a Winmodem (which will never be supported by Linux). Maybe your modem is a Winmodem? In case you don't know, a Winmodem is a modem that leaves it up to the CPU to do things like compression (which are the modem's responsibility). They degrade performance, are hard to work with, and unfortunately are becoming increasingly common. I hope I haven't mistranslated... my only foreign language course so far was a year of high school Spanish I.
[newbie] problème de modem
J'ai acheté un modem Olitec 56K interne et je n'arrive pas à le faire fonctionner avec linux : kppp considère le modem comme occupé alors qu'aucune application ne l'utilise. Si vous pouvez m'aider à résoudre ce problème ... merci Sébastien Druon
