Problems with WinModem
I have currently started to use Linux over the last few weeks. The installation and configuring of my drivers went okay. For the last 4-5 days I have been having some problems with my modem not being detected. I have downloaded a driver for my winmodem. Once I reboot my machine the modem still isn't picked up. I have kernel 2.4.18. I have downloaded all the i386 binaries for this type of kernel and not a single one helps. I have posted to forums but have made little progress since. I have Redhat Linux 8.0 which is running a kernel of 2.4.18. My modem is of type Lucent which is running on a T20 IBM ThinkPad laptop
Any help would be appreciated
Regards

Re: Problems with WinModem
Did you try kudzu to re-detect it after re-installing drivers ?
Did you re-compile your kernel modules for that ?
I tried a good page tut install on that point with a Lucent modem of ours (but not on IBM thinkpad, though, but still with RH 8.0, and it worked perfectly).
See and try :

Only kernel 2.4 applies to you of course.
Good luck.

No, i installed the drivers using the rpm installer. It said everything is fine.

I will try run the source version rather then the compile version to see if it work.
After the installation i ran minicom it seemed to have connected by i didnt know how to dial out to a specific site or to my isp.

Re: Problems with WinModem
Just run 'kudzu'(enter). If your drivers are correctly installed, it should say 'hey, you have this hardware at this place, do you wish me to install it ?' (something like that ;-)
Besides, apart from the driver, you need the kernel (or its modules, depending on your install) to work with your new hard, that is what re-compilation is for (if you do not know how, follow the link's steps, or ask us !).
Doing it from src if fine, just more work for the same result, but a pleasant one.
Good luck.
