Fc6. Winmodem Not Recognized


Modem Issues. Installed Fc6. Neither Modem 1 Or 2 Is Recognized.
1) Tfc-pciv92 From Trendware Inc. Supports W/98/me/xp.
2)conexant (cannot Find Model Number Right Now, But The
Literature That Came With It Indicates It Supports Windows
O.s. (most All Me, 98, Xp...etc) But Not Linux.
Seems Like Both Are "winmodems". Therefore A New Modem Is
Needed That Does Support Linux?
A Thread Mentioned "hsp56" Type Model/modem.
It Is Incredible That A Op.system Like Linux Cannot
Support The Winmodems That Are On The Market. M/soft
Has The Industry In It's Palm?

Try switching to SUSE or Ubuntu both seem to work well with winModems. SuSe even recognized my internal modem on my laptop and once I got it set up properly worked fairly well.
According to the Fedora Core 6 Book I just read Fedora on works for external modems using serial ports. And, suggest going to linmodems.com if experiencing problems. Great support Huh.
Good Luck.
