Re: [newbie] PCI modems
I recently bought US Robotics 3com PCI 5610A modem. I have been in contact w/US Robotics and I inquired about this modem. They have a model 5610 which is a winmodem but they tell me that the 5610A is a hardware modem. ($70 to $90) I had it up and running for about a week and then I kept getting a No Dialtone message when I tried to connectin Linux or Windows! I was told that they are having a problem w/a receiver circuit not closing and making the modem believe the phone line was off hook! They had me send it back to them and they would send me back another! Anyway, that's the jist on this particular modem! Good Luck!

Re: [newbie] PCI modems
I have the pci 5610 (as harddrake calls it) and have never had a bit of trouble with it. A simple setserial with kernels 2.2.x and nothing but setting up kppp in kernels 2.4.x. It cost like $80 or so back in the fall of '99 I guess it was. -s On Friday 31 August 2001 09:41 pm, R C wrote: I recently bought US Robotics 3com PCI 5610A modem.

I don think it's a winmodem but I could be wrong. Thanks to all who wrote in. Yeah, I guess mine is a winmodem after all. Dammit all. It's quite new too! It seems like all the PCI modems are winmodems? I wonder why... Well, I'm off to buy an ISA modem, any suggestions?
Re: [newbie] PCI Modems.

Hello, I've recently installed Mandrake on my personal "workstation" (and have since went on a Mandrake install-fest at my office :)). But now I've come across a (major, for me) problem. I cannot seem to get my PCI modem working. It's an Aztech MDP3858SP-U modem. I don think it's a winmodem but I could be wrong. It works in NT (which is what I'm migrating from and forced to use right now) and DOS. I have searched and read dozens of howtos/help/infobase/newgroup archives etc. to no avail. setserial does not seem to work either. Linux does seem to "see" the board, however, from KDE's control centre's "Information - PCI" page...it's listed as serial controller using irq10. (this is correct even in windows) but not much else. I've tried to assign ttyS2 this irq (using setserial) and even got the I/O address from windows settings right. kppp still isn't able to query the modem at all. All ATx commands generate blanks. I cannot believe this apparently simple problem (of setting up a PCI mdem) does not have a proper howto for it...even a mini one. If I get this working, I'm going to write one up. If one already exists, could someone please point me in the right direction? Any help would be greatly appreciated (since it would mean the end of NT as far as I'm concerned :)).
