i need a linux modem

<< < (2/3) > >>

Calum:
i recently got a modem that works fine with both windows ME and mandrake linux, i found the page at http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/latest.cgi was incredibly helpful. Also, read the page at http://start.at/modem for further info.

I use a US Robotics 56k sportster external modem; it works perfectly for Linux; the one's that will give you a hard time are SOFTWARE (Win) modems.  It doesn't really matter if the modem is internal or external, as long as it's not driven by a proprietary software driver that will only run on a MS operating system; the easiest way to tell is price; Winmodems are cheap, but you get what you pay for.

hey!!! i have an external creative labs modem too! and it works wif mandrake.. BUT i need to get pengaol to work.. so i can go on teh interbullnet!

Hmmm okay thanks for that.  So if i assume here one thing, i buy Mandrake 9, you saying that the kernel pretty much "knows" what it is and it just use it along with kppp or dialers?

I'm using build 51 of lycoris right now if anybody cares to show me how to do it.  Also would i not need some ISP that supports linux?

Does anyone kow what kind of power supply you need with a US Robotics model 0701 56k external modem?  I just bought one for $24.95 from a pawn shop.  The lowest price I've seen on the internet is $99 for one.  A US Robotics 28.8k external modem with a 20 VAC 10 MA power supply plugged into it was next to the 56k modem in the pawn shop.  Would that type of power supply work with the 56k modem?
