Scanmodem
I just finished downloading Mandrake 9.2 it took two weeks on my modem. This is my first time using Linux. I have read alot about installing drivers for Winmodems. I just downloaded scanmodem and ran it, but I can't figure out what driver I'm supposed to use or download.
I know my modem is an AC'97 but what driver will support my chipset. Can someone please post a link for me. I've looked but I just can't figure out which driver to use.
Here's my scanmodem.

=== Checking 8086 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ====
Vendor=8086 is Intel, Inc. producing HaM and 536ep host controller free (HCF) modems, the 537 soft modem
and AC'97 and MC97 controllers managing a varierty of non-Intel soft modem subSystems.
These subSystems will in have PCI_IDs assigned by the modem assembler, not Intel.
Download available drivers from: //developer.intel.com/design/modems/support/drivers.htm
Also check at: //linmodems.technion.ac.il/resources.html
for early releases and perhaps Already compiled drivers for some Linux distributions
=== Checking 1179 through chipset providers and modem assemblers ====
Vendor 1179 is Toshiba, using some motherboards with soft modems.

The following information blocks just query some ppp support items.
====================================================================
grep ppp /etc/modules.conf
--------------------------------
--------------------------------
Be sure to read the section about ppp related modules and aliases in ModemData.txt.2
Attempted of effective networking links are displayed by command:
# /sbin/ifconfig
A block with "lo" is an internal loopback test and harmless.
However, ethernet "eth0" can be problematic for PPP connections,
because of competition for DNS (domain name service).
The default is to use the DNS specified for etherenet and
without expert configuration, this will block browser naviagation through PPP.
========== ifconfig test =============
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:02:3F:81:54:22
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
If is wisest to disable bootup establishment of ethernet in your Control Center.
Depending on your Linux distribution,
one of the following Root commands way alternative be effective:
# ifdown eth0
# ifconfig eth0 down
# /etc/init.d/network stop
# /etc/init.d/networking stop
DEVPPP=crw------- 1 root root 108, 0 Dec 31 1969 /dev/ppp
DEVFS=active
DEVFSD=/etc/devfsd.conf
The ModemDriverCompiling.txt is a MUST READ,
if you are not experienced in configuring kernel-source/
or get "Unresolved symbols" upon driver insertion.
