If you need a seriel 56k modem I have one you can have. it's external, and I live in cambridge so would need to pickup. but otherwise free to good home. Haldor Chris O'Halloran wrote:
Have you had this external modem working before? ie Ubuntu7.04? Is it broadband modem or dial up?
Try the scan modems tool on
It would seem the module for this modem either doesn't exist within the kernel or the system is having trouble identifying which module to use. I suspect the former, in which case, any kernel upgrade is going to disable the modem, even if you do manage to find and compile a driver for it.
The one thing you can't really live without using linux is an internet connection. If you aren't short on money, I'd seriously not bother with a usb modem that isn't recognised out of the box. Buy a second hand 56kbs serial modem or get a router with ethernet ports.

I dont have a device manager installed, like I do on my Ubuntu 7.04 release, although I have downloaded the gnome device manager (gnome-device-manager-0.1) I wouldnt have a clue on how to install the package, remembering that I dont have internet access on this machine makes it a real pain, because there are drivers that I need for the display that I dont have.
