So.....
The loaded question that comes to my mind is 'Why do you need use of
your modem?' Don't you have high speed networking on your machine already?
On the other hand... if a modem is legitimately necessary...
May I suggest investing in a serial based modem? No drivers are needed,
and I have yet to run into a linux distro that doesn't know how to
correctly deal with serial ports. (That includes my USB to RS232
adapter for my laptop.)
How to 'sniff out' a serial port is on linux:
$ dmesg | grep tty
The needed output for identifying the serial port is as follows:
[ 2289.792347] usb 6-1: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB0
All you have to do now is set up Minicom (or SyncTerm, or whatever your
favorite terminal program is) to recognize that device. In my case, the
device name would be /dev/ttyUSB0
Hope that helps. As you have already found out, WinModems and linux
don't always play well together. Hope you find the solution you need.
