Mandrake and modems
 

Does anyone know why my modem wont work?
When i go to new internet connection it says the name of my modem which is ambient technologies MD something then it says go to linmodems.org. I have visited the site but dont know what to do next.
Please help!

Hello!

What kernel do you have?
And could you tell us please more about your modem?

Try this as root: and post the output.

I found this on linmodems.org for "ambient technologies MD something". There is a package for Mandrake...maybe it helpes.

hi there

go to linmodems.org
get the scanmodem utlitiy from thre
and then run that utility and u will gt to know about all the specifiations of ur modem so that u can look for its driver

regards

ScanModem utility?
 

The link to the ScanModem utility on linmodems.org seems to be corrupt. It leads to a Technion web page but the ScanUtility is nowhere around. Any ideas how to get this program? Can someone e-mail it to me?

I have a very similar problem with my Lucent Winmodem under Mandrake 10.0:

When trying to establish a new Internet connection, I am asked which modem to use: Lucent winmodem or other (although the LT modem is not installed in "Hardware"). After clicking the Lucent modem and Next, I get
"Warning: Sorry, we support only 2.4 and above kernels." (mine is 2.6.3???)
"Your modem is not supported by the system. See www.linmodems.org."

I downloaded some drivers for Lucent winmodem under Mandrake 10.0, but nothing changed.

The chipset of my modem is based on Lucent 1646T00 and the modem is
LT WinModem 56k Data+Fax or Agere F-1156IV/A3
It works perfectly in Windows 98.

Questions:
1. How to install a modem under Linux? Installing the drivers does not seem to work or the drivers are bad.
2. How can I install and test a modem without the graphic environment KDE - working only from the terminal window?

Thanks a lot,
Boris
