modem help
 

my modem cannot install and its a generic 56k hcf data fax modem (com 3)

wat do i do? ima begginer and whoever replies, please tell me how to install it from beggining

What type of modem do you have (make, model), and is it an internal or external modem. If it is a Conexant HCF modem, then installing it shouldn't be too difficult - and if you want a relatively painless way to set it up then Linuxant ( http://www.linuxant.com/drivers ) provide some nice drivers.

What distribution do you want to install it to ?

Cheers,

i have an internal modem and i am installing it on slackware 10.
on another thread ive checked out the linux site (linuxant) and i couldn't find anything for my modem. its a rockwell hcf 56k i gess.
i have the driver for win 98, in one of the files it says HCF PCT 56K Modem (FM-56PCI-RW) mabey that will help hopefully!!!!

AFAIK, Rockwell are now Conexant. I would download the modem tool from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/mode....php#listmodem and see which device is returned. Then compare these with those on the website. I would be pretty surprised if the driver from http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/index.php didn't work, even if it's not listed as supported. You could download the evaluation version to give it a try (or hunt the net for pre-release versions).

what next its confusing!!!!!!!!!

Well, from the linuxant website it looks like it's supported.

Now, make sure you have the kernel source installed (usually in /usr/src/linux, or wherever that simlink points to) and then download the latest demo driver from
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/hcf/...400full.tar.gz after signing your life away on the page before that one (or search the web for an equivalent free driver... ). Next:Good luck !
