satelliteuser083 Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I've still not solved my dial-up problem in LE2005 (see "kppp jammed, modem permanently engaged"), but the thought HAS occurred to me that a reasonable solution might be to buy a device that definitely does work with that OS. So... how about some feedback (preferably just from LE2005 users, mind you) on which modems YOU are using. Should be interesting to see the variety of linux-compatible devices around.

daniewicz Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I am not on dialup anymore. When I was, I used a US Robotics 5610B V.92 PCI modem on 10.1 and 10.2 with no trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 This link may help: http://www.linmodems.org/ they have a scanModem tool to identify the chipset, to then attempting to get a module/driver for it. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10, and never bothered figuring out getting the modem working, since I had dual boot to Windows at the time. I don't have this now, but always use broadband anyway, so never needed the modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electraglider Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Having the same problem myself I stumbled across this site. http://www.devidal.tv/~chris/winmodems/pci_list.html Maybe it will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aRTee Posted December 12, 2005 Report Share Posted December 12, 2005 If you can, stay away from winmodems (HSP or whatever) - the clue is if the box says it needs a PI 150MHz or so, don't buy. If it needs a 486, it's ok. The low requirement means it doesn't offload signal processing to your cpu (HSP = host signal processing), more cycles for eyecandy or whatever.. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satelliteuser083 Posted December 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2005 (edited) I don't currently need a dial-up modem because I've switched to cable-broadband, but..... you never know, perhapa I'll have to change back at some time :o . Anyway, I'll keep the info in mind; many thanks Edited December 14, 2005 by satelliteuser083 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
