Hi guys

As I said in title I have a problem.

Also is a problem that I'm completely new in Linux so I beg you to give me a step by step solution. Which file should I download and how should I install it.

Thanks in advance

is this a dialup modem? is it a winmodem?

[djole_nisam_ja]

Yes Bradchaus, it's dialup and it's winmodem (actually I think so cause it says so in Windows in Control Panel/Phone and Modem).

P.S. Had to use this explanation cause still WinXP to Linux migrating.

Thanks

in WinXP, can you give me the Lucent modem model number? .. more details will help .. as much detail as you can supply.

[djole_nisam_ja]

I can give U some number that I thing that is connected with model number
and I can give U driver number for WinXP.

some number... is : pci\ven_11c1&dev_044e

and driver version number is : 5.1.2535.0 (driver provider is Microsoft)

can you post the output of

/sbin/lspci

[bradchaus]

I have done a little searching. Lucent modems are generally whats called Winmodems. They rely on the operating system to make them work, unlike modems that look like RS-232 modems.

I have found the following links you may care to read. However I think you will not be able to get that lucent thingy working under linux. It may be easier to just buy a standard modem (internal or external) and use that. Internal PCI modems are oinly about $15. Good luck.

can you post the output of

/sbin/lspci


Can U tell me where I can find that file?

And thanks for link above,I managed to download just one of drivers (I believe one of the open source) because links for others are broken.

P.S. I mentioned that I'm completely new in Linux so could U explain the instalation process to me,plz. Acctually, what should I do with those files.

Thanks

Hey buddy, me again. This is the 2nd time that is happening to me. The 1st time I tought that I ****ed up but it happened again.

When I boot my F8 it start line commands and stop with this command:

RedHat nash version 6.0.19 starting

I believe it's a bug, and it's a big one.

If the command su -
lspci
saysCommunication controller: Agere Systems 56k WinModem (rev 01)then it is an Agere and can use the martian winmodem (http://martian.barrelsoutofbond.org/). Most windmodem drivers must be built from source for the running kernel and this in itself is a challenge.
