REd hat 9 can't find my Motorola voicesufr external 56 k modem.


I finally just got Red hat 9 to install on my computer and it is awesome except for my modem problems. I have a external serial motorola voicesufr 56k modem connected to my computer and in the installation it never picked it up. Now when i go to the "start menu" and go to system tools and then internet configuration wizard. After that i click "modem connection" and then it tries to find a modem but doesn't. It allows me to pick a "device" but how do i know wchih one it is. Please help.

You need to find out what chipset your modem uses and the corresponding driver for that chipset. Then you need to type:

modprobe [drivername]

You can probably find the information from the modem manufacturers literature. When you know it, either guess the driver name (not entirely the best way to go about it) or do a google search for the chipset and see what other people used

Don't worry if you get the driver name wrong, it'll just throw an error back at you if you get it wrong.
