I had a sheetload of trouble getting my internal to work with Redhat, and Mandrake, in the end I chucked it and got an external one.

The Chips on the Internal ones are commonly referred too as WinModems. Therefore, only support by windows.

There are a few drivers floating around that may work, if you check out www.linmodems.com not sure if they have the netcomm ones or not, worth a look tho ;)

No Probs.

Even with an external, it may say that it detected no modem, I find if you just point it to the correct serial port it will work anyway, or set it to the default (/dev/modem)


If you get stuck, let us know.
