snag with USB MODEM
I have an external USB 56K fax modem, slackware 10 with 2.4.26 kernel version. When it was installed it didn't detect the modem. I did the following
gunzip /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/usb/acm.o.gz
insmode /lib/modules/2.4.26/kernel/drivers/usb/acm.o
lsusb has detected him! U.S Robotics 56K modem
In /proc/bus/usb/devices there is the following
If you see 'cls = ff(vend)' you're out of luck. What does it mean?
I've downloaded the ScanModem tool frm linmodem.org, but it doesn't give the answer 'to be or not to be'...
what should I do? Should I switch on usbcore.o,uhci.0 or namybe something else?

USB Devices will normally be loaded as SCSI drives (sda). Also USB modems are winmodems (win = Windows) normally, which require Windows drivers to work. Get your self a NON-WinModem PCI Card and install it

Are you sure it is a winmodem? It has cost $50! It's the most important to me to determine wether it is a winmodem or not....(I'm sorry for my terrible English  ) |

Hello MX,
Are there any more markings on the modem?
US Robotics made a few USB modems the last few years.
With kind regards,
Richard
