Great modem - have used it on several distributions, in a Dell Latitude 2.4 Ghz laptop.

Am currently using Kubuntu 6.10 - had some problems finding the modem. Finally used system log to monitor while inserting the card. It showed up being mapped as /dev/ttyS1.

(com1 MUST be enabled in BIOS for the system to map the modem!)

I then created a link to the modem by:

sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

All is working
well now.

Just upgraded my Dell Latitude 2.4 Ghz laptop to Kubuntu 6.10 - modem wouldn't work (had previously worked with Kubuntu 6.06).

While monitoring the system log, I inserted the modem, and saw that it was being mapped as ttyS1 (com1 port MUST be enabled in BIOS!).

I then created the link below:

sudo ln -s /dev/ttyS1 /dev/modem

Now all is well -

Great modem - have used it for over a year on various versions, with no issues.

I do use the s17 command to set the maximum speed that it tries to connect at - otherwise, it takes too long and times out.

Nice pcmcia v.92 dial up modem. Full hardward modem (not wintel). Works with Linux, specifically tested with Fedora Core 3 on a Compaq Presario (yes, it's an ancient machine: 390MHz CPU, 384Kb ram, 4Gb hard drive).

I had to use /dev/ttyS1 since the network control couldn't use the sym
link /dev/modem.
