Re: [SLUG] Rockwell HCF Modem on linux?

[Erich Schulz <erich@nospam.emseng.com.au>]

Hi:
I am not quite sure if the modem is exactly the same, but I had one of thos
modems on my wifes windows machine, and when it came to converting over, I just
could not get it going. Very few ( and I mean very few) inernal PCI modems are
supported by linux. 

There is an extensive list of internal PCI modems which can and cannot be used
inlinux. It was mentioned in the SLUG list during this year. You could try
seraching the archives.

Cheers

Erich
