OK I'm back with more questions Once again I'm running RH 8.0 on a compaq presario 1400 laptop. I'm trying to configure my modem. when I run the internet-druid it tells me no modem was found on my system. When I tried lspci it told me I have a Conextant HCF 56K modem as my ethernet controller as well as my communication controller. Now I believe this is a Winmodem so I went to this site www.mbsi.ca/cnxtlinuxdri/hsf/index.html. and downloaded the correct driver and installed it but I am still not able to detect a modem. Anyone have any Ideas?
