Iv read alot about "winmodems" not working or working only 1/4 of the time when you can get'em working.? anyway, I'll try anything to get my modem working on linux. I found a rpm + configure package to do this, but it created a ttyHFO (file?)??? what??? anyway, the modem is your typical 56k v data/fax PCI modem, chipset F-1156IV/R9F? Thanks im stuck.

If you have ttyHFO located in the /dev directory then you just about have it set up. Some driver pkges link /dev/modem to the driver, Your's may not have. To see, try to dial-up. Kppp can query the modem. Put your mouse over /dev/modem to see if it's a symbolic link. If not ,then delete /dev/modem ,then at prompt type, ln -s /dev/ttyHFO /dev/modem BTW. Mine works all the time.

Hi, all: I have a Lectron Inc. 56K V.90 PCI Flex Modem and found a linux driver for it. but do not know how to get it work under linux OS. Could you guys let me share your success secrets or let me know where could i find direct information ? I sought the web, not fount very usefull information yet. Aslo the driver provider does not provide a useful install instruction for linux. Where could i get Mark's rpm+configure package ? Thanks in advance.
