Hi,

I've a got a PCI Winmodem (Motorola sm56 chipset).

In Motorola web there's an unsoported driver for this modem chipset on Linux.

I had Red Hat 7.1 and I downloaded and isntalled this driver, and the modem worked fine.

But now, I've installed RH 7.3 and installed again the driver. It seems the driver's installation runs good, as it creates a device called /dev/sm56, and /dev/modem is linked to this device. But when i try to dial-up, I use KPPP for it, it complains it can't access the modem, and if i run minicom, i don't get any response for the modem.

What can I do?

Thanks in advance

It's a binary module, only for kernel 2.4.3 i believe. I think you could download the source and use that old kernel, or just buy a PCTel winmodem that is very well supported, or better yet buy a REAL MODEM!
