First of all, I'm new to linux!

My system is a ABit IC7-G Max II motherboard running 2.8Ghz HT processor, 1GB Dual speed memory, Seagate 120GB SATA drive, and a ATI Radeon 8500 graphics, with a Creative Modem Blaster V92 modem (conexion HCF modem)

I've set up a dual boot system with Windows XP, and GRUB as my boot loader.

Red Hat 9 running great

But I cannot get the modem working

I've used the setserial command, with information from /proc/pci, irq 23, although the BIOS says 9! port 0x9400, uart blah.... command runs fine. I then run setserial -bg /dev/ttyS* which shows ttyS2 with my new settings

I then run the Internet Connection wizard, select ttyS2 as my modem, try then to activate and nothing!!!! it just sits their, if I click close or the X, the screen refreshes show that the link is active, but it isn't! (I picked up the phone, and their was a dial tone)

I then shut down the system, and connected my US Robotics external modem, when rh9 was loading it found the new hardware, and I clicked configure. Once in GNOME, I ran the internet connection wizard, and no modem was available, what am I doing wrong??? I spent hours on this forum, and I cannot see anything that can help....please help me

I would prefer to use the Creative V.92 internal PCI modem , due to lack of power points. If this modem will not work, then can you recomend a supported internal PCI modem that will work.

PS. Both modem works fine under windows XP!!!

wow. weird! check this thread for further info...

find out the chipset on you Creative modem and check the modem database that's linked into the thread.

Try turning PnP OS off in the BIOS. I post this often, and about 1/2 the time, that is what it takes, when it is a hardware controlled modem, not a winmodem.

Thanks for all your help,

I've given the Creative Modem blaster away, and purchased a External UsRobotics (second hand) and it works great (although I had to do a complete Linux rebuild!!!
