Help in Installing sm56 Modem
 

Hai,
Please Help me as I am puzzled . I have installed redhat linux 7.1. I could not find an RPM like sm56 which is the driver for my modem. What should I do ? Can I get the sm56 package from the net and Install? . Or If I get the package, Do I able to install ie Is the package absent because the kernel does not support it? I heared that RH linux 7.1 supports motorola chipset win modems my other version of kernel which is RH linux 7.1 provides this. I does not like to install this because this is the pc quest magazine's free version . So I do not want to see their logo instead of the RH logo. So please help me. My kernel version is 2.4.2 and I think the exact OS version is 7.0.7

Hi,
This is off the top of my head and maybe wrong, but...
RH Linux, AFAIK, does not support win modems 'out of the box', this is to do with gnu/open-source/proprietry code
issues.
For a bit of reading and maybe an RPM check out the following link:
www.linmodems.org

Good luck
