Hi Simon,
 
We looked up the link you provided and now can't find the "Scanmodem" tool it refers to under  setting up modems without drivers. Do you know where it is in Ubuntu?
 
 
Cheers
 
 
Robert

Hi WLUG,
 
We are now the proud owners of a Netcom Mega I Modem which is proportadly Linux Compatible. I have connected it up physically and have some light on and we can see  the drivers in  our 64 bit Ubuntu 8 operating system.
 
However how  do we run the files. There is an exe file therre called setport.exe which looks like  it might be useful be we don't know how to run it.

Hi Robert,

The .exe file will be for Windows, so you won't need that. The Ubuntu Community wiki has some helpful information on configuring your modem. I'm assuming that you are wanting to use it to content to the Internet or some other online service.

If you are still having problems, WLUG are having their monthly workshop next Saturday. See the WLUG webpage for more information.
