    Yep. Mandrake 10.1 will recognize them.

    I'm a big fan of the Actiontec External Call Waiting Serial Modem. This version works great with Linux right out of the box.

    Dapper: Are you sure? It says it requires a version of windows. I'm running an older PC partitioned with windows 98 and suse, my internal modem is a winmodem (I think). Will the onw you linked to work?[/quote]

    A lot of hardware says, "Windows only" but still runs with Linux. I own this particular modem is why I recommended it. It works perfectly for me. Unless Actiontec has changed the chipset or something, which I doubt, it should work fine for you as well.

    Dial-Up Modem

    The Modem I have is:

    PCIBUS=01:0a.0

    Providing detail for device at 01:0a.0
    with vendor-ID:device-ID
    ----:----
    Class 0700: 127a:1003 Serial controller: Rockwell International HCF 56k Data/F ax Modem (rev 01) (prog-if 00 [8250])
    SubSystem 0e11:b0bc Compaq Computer Corporation 229-DF Zephyr
    Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 5

    -----PCI_IDs------- --CompilerVer-
    Feature List: Primary Subsystem Distr KernelVer kernel default CPU
    ./scanModem test 127a:1003 0e11:b0bc mandrake 2.6.8.1-12mdk 3.4.1 3.4.1 i68 6

    127a:1003 could be either an HSF or an HCF Conexant modem

    I am able to get it to work with HCF drivers. Accept I don't want to pay $14.95 for 56k Drivers unless I have too. Or I'll buy another Modem.
