Using SupraMax modem in Linux...

[bjfelger]

I'm trying to get my DiamondMM SupraMax
fax/modem working in RH Linux 5.2.
Unfortunately, I can't even get the darned
thing to react to a ATDT! Even Winmodems
are supposed to do that, which I don't
believe this one is. I tried getting
a response from each of the cuaX's, and
the correct one (cua1) does nothing (and
returns nothing) while the others give
a READ/WRITE error (as expected). Why
won't this dag-nabbed thing work? Anyone
have any experience with this modem? Again,
there is no indication given that this is
a winmodem...

Is the modem PCI or ISA?
Does it have jumpers for the COM port on it?

[bjfelger]

It's PCI, with no jumpers.

To check my modem compatibility when setting up my RH 6.0 Linux box I used the following link from the Modem-HOWTO: http://www.o2.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html
