.::Modem::.


Hi,
Please help me connecting dialup
I've a conexant hsf 56k soft modem. It list in lspci, so I know the linux (open suse 11.2, ubuntu 8 live-CD & fedora 11 live-CD) identify it. But there is no modem devise in /dev therefor, I can't connect Via dial-up!
How can I solve this problem? In fedora 6 I use linuxant driver & I can connect successfully.I found Fedora complete distribution as my favorite linux but in using newer version am I able use dial-up modem (no modem devise in fedora 11 while it's driver installed)?

Yes, in fedora 6 with compiling linuxant driver solve, but in fedora 11 in there is no any effect cause the driver installed by linux installer , and I recive message: " this package is currently installed". in terminal I type "lscpi" where last hardware is my modem, but there is no "modem" in "/dev"

did you use modprobe to load the modem driver after it was installed.
