[SLUG] Modem on compaq persario 1550A

2003-03-27 Thread Malik Jayawardena
Howdy

Trying to get the modem going on this compaq presario 1550a. It seems to 
have a conexant soft 56k modem. I've installed the HSF linux package 
from conexant which seems to find the modem and loads the modules, but I 
can't seem to activate the ppp. Doesn't do anything and probing doesn't 
seem to find the modem.

Anyone else have any experience with this? Do they just flat out don't 
work because it's a soft modem?

Any help would be much appreciated, thanks,

-Malik

Have you had a look at http://www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlindrv/ ? Also
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ and
http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/post-install.html .
You haven't given enough info to help you beyond pointing to those sites.
Do you get a NO DIALTONE error using wvdial for example, or is the
modem not found at all? If reading through these pages don't solve the
problem, I suggest posting to [EMAIL PROTECTED] giving as much info
as you can.
