A bit of help with Linux...

[Amorpheous]

Hi, I'm running SuSE Linux 6.2, and I'm having trouble getting my modem to work. It is a Creative Modem Blaster v.90 56k...not a cheesy winmodem. Under the Yast configurator, i selected all the available com ports, yet its an internal modem, so its not on com1 or com2. in win98 the modem is assigned to com4, and i tried that in linux, still doesn't work. even auto-detecting the modem under Yast didnt work. any ideas/suggestions please?

I can tell you how to get your modem working in LInux but not in "Plug and Play" mode. I tried in vain to get that very same modem working in using ISA plug and play tools for Linux to no avail.

If you want it to work do this:
[list=1]
Jumper the modem as non-plug and play, COM2, IRQ 3
Disable the on-board COM2 if applicable
In Linux (I assume you will be using KDE) tell "kppp" or whatever modem config utility you use that your modem is on /dev/ttys1 (this is Linux COM2), also tell Linux that your modem is a generic Rockwell chipset 56K
[/list=a]
Of course you will have to remove the old modem from Windows and reinstall it so it works again in Windows.

If you have any more problems just let us know.
