Re: [newbie] PCI Modem Configuration
If it's a win-modem type of modem, then buy a new modem. Goto www.linux-mandrake.com and check out the compatable hardware, but 99% of PCI modems are of the win-modem type and will not work. - Original Message - From: Tony Bao [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 12, 1999 8:07 AM Subject: [newbie] PCI Modem Configuration Hi, I have a Motorola PCI PnP SM56 modem, and from the Win98 I can see it takes the "COM4".

Re: [newbie] PCI Modem Configuration
Winmodems do not work in Linux. You may want to consider getting an external model, or a non-plug-n-pray model.

Re: [newbie] PCI Modem Configuration
Here's a pretty good rule of thumb for modems. If it doesn't have jumpers or switches to configure it, chances are it won't work under Linux.
