[plug] Modem not recognised

[Simon Scott]

	Quick check of the net reveals it is not supported yet... What you
have is a softmodem, (or winmodem) and supposedly the linux driver is in
development.

	Actually, it *might* be supported, but youd have to try the linmodem
driver (youre on your own with that, I only use and recommend real modems
:). Check http://www.idir.net/~gromitkc/winmodem.html to see.... I think it
mentions the conexant soft modems (HCF) having a new driver.... worth a try
I spose.

	Subject:	[plug] Modem not recognised

	I have an IBM Aptiva with a Conexant HCF V90 56K Data/Fax Modem
installed
	which connects to iiNet under Windows 98 but Linux does not
recognise it.
	I have followed the instructions on iiNet's Linux support page
	(www.iinet.net.au/help/linux/index.html) which involved editing
	/etc/resolv.conf, making a symbolic link to /dev/modem from
/dev/cua3 (I
	also made on from /dev/ttyS1 because I that's the Australian PC User
Linux
	Pocketbook said to do), editing /etc/ppp/options and
/etc/ppp/pap-secrets.

	I typed pppd only to have another command line appear and no modem
action.

	When I try to use the wizard it cant detect my modem.

	Any help?

	Thanks.
	Harry Wykman.
