Sir
I have P4 pentium 1.5GHz system. In my system, I have internal modem motorala SM56 speakerphone. I have loaded RedHat 7.2 linux. I reqiured driver for the above system for supporing linux RH 7.2
KIndly provide driver.
rafi

Hai...!
Do one thing search the internet through
www.google.com with this
"SM56 modem drivers"+ linuxand also check the site motorla
I have downloaded the driver from motorola
site onlyok
have a nice time

Dear Sir,
I have redhat linux 7.2 installed & motorola sm56 internal pci modem. I tried installing the drivers available at motorola website... It installed correctly without errors but still could not find/recognise the modem. It gave errors with modprobe & didn't work properly.Please help me out.
thanks...

Linux Driver provided by motorola is only for RH linux 7.1IT DOES NOT WORK ON 7.2
and SM56 is no longer continued by motorola, so they will not have a new driver for that. FORGET IT.

I also have a stupid SM56 PCI software modem device, and it doesn't work under RH 7.2 I also tried it on RH 7.0, but it still doesn't work. When I enter kppp dialing program and select the 'query modem' option it says "Sorry. Can't open modem"
We are lost !

I am still running RH7.1, but with the latest 2.4.18 kernel. The stupid driver of SM56 gives a core dump on this kernel, but works fine on the original kernel... 2.4.2. PLz somebody help us all in handling this idiotic win modem that motorola has safely disowned.

Hi
i have ur same problem and i discovered the following:
1-The only avaible driver for Motorola modems is for Data/Fax Modem only and it works on RedHat 7.12-And there is no driver for the "Motorola SPEAKER PHONE" Modem at all.
GOD DAMN YOU MOTOROLLA
Anyway if anyone knew anything plz let me know.
