Hi kakyoin, and welcome to Sysopt.
However I think your modem is a Win-modem (google search) so you won't have much luck running it under linux
I would suggest a cheap external modem for easy linux compatability.
I suspect your Win98 shutdown problem maybe related to power managment (from experience).
Sorry I can't be more helpfull.

Um...modems always seem to be a problem in Linux. I don't think they can use Win Modems. Try getting an old ISA modem (maybe this one ) and that should work. I'm not really a big guru in Linux, I'm actually a newbie, but I know some things about it. Hope this helps...
This will all be over before you can say Cat in a Hat.

If you want to get the WinModem working I'm pretty sure it can't be done for most modems and is pretty hard to do with the others. Just head out and buy an external modem. It'll be faster and work with linux.

Yep, an external modem would work too. But since they cost more I figured an ISA modem would be better. Either one is good though.
Thanks for reminding me on that one Eddy.

Hello,
Linux users have been having quite a bit of luck with PCI modems. Hopefully this article will help:

And ofcourse www.linmodems.org is a great resource. I hope this helps,

SupraMAX 56i is a winmodem, so it will not work in Linux. Winmodem (a.k.a softmodem), is a software based modem, which does not have its own internal processor and depends on the CPU to process the data via Windows.
Given enough time & money,
Microsoft will re-invent Unix.

Thanks for the response!
I guess I have to buy a new modem
Btw, is there any free isp that support linux?
