I have recetly discver these software modems are excatly what their names suggest, soft. But regardless I have about five of them and would like to just make one work in linux. The modem I have is a

NetComm Inmodem 56 V.92 IN5699 (Manufactor)
Agere Systems Lt WinModem 1648c-TVS (Chipset)
PCI ID: PCI\VEN-11C1&DEV-044C&SUBSYS-044C11C1&REV-
02GQ968-94V-0

There is no FCC number as it's not required in Australia but if you need anymore info on the device let me know. If anyone know of a working drivers that would work in Fedora Core 3 I would very much grateful. I did discover this site

physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/dists/fedora/ (unable to typ it correctly because the URL policy to stop spamming)

but I'm unsure in what one is the correct one. I know is likely staring me right in the face but I'm just so new to linux/Fedora and simple don't know. Anyway thanks inadvance. Tell everyone now, I'm buying a hardware modem next time I need another. Thanks.


* Dear Admin, I started this thread in Linux newbie but though it would be better place here, please feel free to delete the thread call Winnmodem in Fedora. Really sorry for the mistake and will assure that my futhure threads are place in the right section. Thanks *

Haven't you try to visit the producer webpage or use
the linux generic driver?

you could try the HCL in this site....it helped me out quite a few times

Of course I've attempted to use the generic driver and visted the producer webpage (both modem producer and chipset producer) as well as sending emails requesting the drives. Furthermore I've posted request for the drivers at DriverGuide. Also I visted http://www.heby.de/ltmodem but the driver I download for my kernal 2.6.9-1.667 didn't work, fedora was still unable to decect the device.
Furthermore the package I download and installed was

ltmodem-kv_2.6.9_1.667-8.31a10-1.i686.rpm

I say that is the correct version for my kernal and it installed correctly so I'm really lost why it didn't work. Also I will have a look HCL, thanks ALInux.

If it is available then you need linux firmware to turn it from a winmodem into a linuxmodem. I think, someone correct me if I am wrong.

*OK may have been wrong http://linmodems.org/*
