ive got a us robotics isa modem
jon check this page out.
http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/2115a.html
it gives you a big list of modems that are win and that are ok in linux
didn't it come with a boot disk so you could use disk druid?
There are isa win
modems...
there might be isa winmodems but the 33.6
version of my modem is on a list of compatable modems with linux.i have
the 56 onewhen i querry the modem it just says its busyis that what
winmodems do?
To whom it may concern,
I have a USR 2030, ISA PNP\USR 2030 56k
modem
To my knowledge an ISA modem is not a
winmodem.
I am having trouble setting up the
modem. When I query the modem it is busy. I have it on com2
which that is true.
Any ideas? Let me know.
