Hi all
I haven't been in touch since the installfest in may?
Working all hours and Linux has taken a back seat.
I have just got a modem going in the Linux box, Not counting
the slow machine with a hardware ISA modem that I took to
work for check E-mail at night, Don't want pirate windows in
case Micro$oft did an audit so it has Mandrake 10. Showed
the other techs that it not so different to windows to use
in GUI.
Anyway the modem I found is a Pragmatic FMI-IA56 which uses
an Intel 536 chipset which Intel suply driver for Linux for,
including some precompiled drivers for Mandrake 10 and some
other popular distros.
They seem to work OK for Mandrake 10. It is a V92 hardware
mode (HCF)
not the old driverless hardware type.
I did have it run a little eratic but the instructions
mentioned a reset command "AT&F" which seems to have sorted
it.
Hope someone finds it usefull
Regards David Bowen
