Question USB modem on linux


Dear all...

I'm deciding to install Redhat linux 7.2 on my PIII-733 but i realised that my USB D-link DSL-200 modem is not supported on linux. I've also read somewhere on the net about something called Abstract Control Model which can help????

I'm really interested in giving linux a try, however I do not wish to have it as a standalone... I really hope someone could give me advice on how to get my modem to work on linux.

cheers

I have a feeling this modem uses the alcatel chipset, but officially won't work. Check out

http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/spe...h/user.en.php3

http://www.linux-usb.org/SpeedTouch/howto.html

And read their FAQ's (don't have link stored). Note these are two different ways of getting the alcatel to work, one of the FAQ's, may be linux-usb says something about d-link modems.

Good luck

Jim
