I have increased the points by 10 cuz thats all i have lol.  Well shivsa the site u gave me is from what i see totally based on a windows system of drivers, maybe not and if so can u show me the linux drivers?

owensleftfoot that site does help a little but i cant see any reference to my actual modem.  Could someone give me some expert advice on installing the modem step by step maybe?
Hi,

Have you tried the hardware info section in YAST2 (yast2 > hardware > hardware information)?  It *may* give you more detail on the actual chipset used by that modem, but only if it detetcts it - which it doesn't always manage.  Then you could try at www.linmodems.org, which is a web site devoted to getting windows modems working under Linux.

What does "lspci" tell you?

Did you look it up on SuSE's support hardware database at SuSE's web site?

Thanks Paul that is a start indeed, the Hardware Information did give me information on it.

HCF 56k Data/Fax Modem
Model GVC Compaq Scooter

This is the device it has recognised,  i have upped the question by 50 points so if anyone can help me get a driver now i would be greatfull
