Re: [newbie] win modem Lucent...!!!
hi, i am using a winmodem on my computer for windows, is that possible to use that same modem for linux, mandrake community edition v.10 ?... i did some reseaches about win modems and linux and what i read in all this websites is that it is not possible!!! but i found a driver for LTwinmodem (lucent winmodems) for linux.. in the driverguide webpage, is that possible... and maybe the main question is how do i install this driver on my system.? -- No virus found in this outgoing message.

You can get Lucent chipset winmodems working on Mandrake (I did), but you must ensure that you have a driver that matches your kernel. As I say I got my winmodem working, but had to drop to an earlier kernel to do it. There are resources on the net which will show you how to go about this task. http://linmodems.org/ http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Winmodems-and-Linux-HOWTO.html http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/ hth.. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Powered by Mandrake 10.1 Microsoft Free Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

People have successfully gotten their Lucent winmodems working on linux. Personally, I found it so difficult that I just bought a cheap serial modem (external). This option requires no software installation of anykind, and I dont think there was any configuration involved either. It's guaranteed to work. The choice is yours. I prefered to part with EUR 50 rather than try to get the modem working. Good luck! Jarlath Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Re: [newbie] win modem Lucent...!!!
Also, there are several different chipsets used by on Lucent/Agere modems. Check here to see if a driver is available for yours: http://free.hostdepartment.com//g/gromitkc/dips/roster.html You might be able to determine which chipset your (PCI?) modem uses through harddrake and then get the appropriate driver here: http://www.heby.de/ltmodem More good instructions for newbie here: http://users.ox.ac.uk/~mert1313/ltmodem.html I have tried the SV92P (listed as incompatible) and it does, in fact, not work.

Very likely. BUT, the driver you use must match the running kernel--it is possible you will need to compile to do this--get ready to install kernel-source or kernel-headers. And, if you upgrade your kernel it will break the modem and you will need to compile the driver again. I've gotten lucent chipset modems to work with several kernels, but you know what??? It really isn't worth the bother. Get an external serial modem (not usb!) and save yourself the frustration. If you insist,http://www.linmodems.org Also, the scanModem tool (do a Google for it) will identify your chipset and probably tell you what driver you need, if there is a precompiled one for it.
