asked on

modem for linux

hello, everyone,

  my pc has an internal modem
  56K ITU V.90 PCI FAX/Modem(shipped with my eTower400i2 machine).
  How can i know if it is supported by RedHat 7.0?
  I tried once and got message like: linux cannot detect any modem.
  Is this because the modem is winmodem or i need download the rigth driver for the modem working in
linux?
  BTW, how can i know if my modem is winmodem?

Thank you

Hello, dorward,

    Thank you very much for your reply. If you don't mind, i have another question.
    When you bought the external modem( the one like your Diamond Supress Pro56e), did you get two sets of drivers shipped with the modem?one for Window98 and the other one for Linux RedHat? Or i have to download the drivers from the website?
    I am really new to Linux and i wish you can help me.


Thank you.

You don't need special drivers, the ones built in to the Linux kernel work fine (becuase hardware modems all work the same way).
