If this is what I call a "worthless winmodem" it may be hard to make it work even if you do have the right driver module for it and for the kernel version you're using. However, the site you get it from SHOULD give you some documentation regarding how to set it up. Unfortunately, there's no generic way for such things. If the provider doesn't give any documentation then you may be out of luck unless you run into someone else who's already won the battle with the same (or similar) modem. If it is a "real" modem (i.e., a real serial port with a real modem on the other side of it that works without a bunch of software to pretend to be a modem) then there shouldn't be any need for any drivers at all. Me, I prefer a real external serial modem. Worth the extra cost, because they simply work. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- .---- Fred Smith / ( /__ ,__. __ __ / __ : / / / / /__) / / /__) .+' Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / / (__ (___ (__(_ (___ / :__ 781-438-5471 -------------------------------- Jude 1:24,25 --------------------------------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
