lefticy · 02-11-2004, 04:25 AM

after about 3 weeks of fiddeling around with an intel 536ep winmodem that i can not get to work(i can't even get the driver to unzip and the instructions are very confusing ) . i have decided to go and get a zoom 3049 external hardware modem.

will this serial modem work in the red hat 9 os and is it easy install.

also if anyone is using another type of serial modem please post make and model so that i can search for a cheap external modem.

Well, strangely, I had problems with the Intel 536ep - could connect, but little/no data through-put...... - recently bought a

Creative External Serial modem

works perfectly under

Fedora Core1
Slack 9.1
Mandrake 9.2

etc

no extra drivers or config required - in kppp for example just put in

the device name of the modem (/dev/ttyS0 for mine)
connection speed
phone number
username
password

etc etc

you should'nt have problems with an external serial modem.

I have a Zoom 3049 working fine with Suse. Also got it working ok with Knoppix.

I've only tried V90 mode as my ISP does not support V92.

where can I get drivers for this modem, for Red Hat 9? I have just done my first linux install, and I have the modem working using the normal serial drivers, but it's soooo sloooooow.
Also, any hints on how to configure the modem with new drivers??
