make command help


I was trying to install my modems driver but when I use the make command I get an error, it says the command was not found. What do I do? I can't get online.

Another q.

I have a winmodem and a hardware modem, is it possible to hook both modems up int he pci slots and when i'm on linux plug the phoneline into the hardware and surf and when I get on windows plug the winmodem up and surf? I know i'll have to change the phone line but is it possible to do this?

Find out what the missing command is (it's probably gcc if you're using SuSE personal) and install it.

You can use two modems on Linux quite happily; just make sure /dev/modem (or your ppp0 config) points to the right device. I don't think Windows will mind much either, although it may default to using the first device it finds.

Also, for your information, there is no advantage to a Winmodem over a hardware modem even on Windows; it will use slightly more system resources (CPU and RAM) and should otherwise behave about the same. (Unless your Winmodem is a fax modem and the hardware one isn't, or something like that).
