dial up modem configuration to FC6

[disdro]

---

hello,

How can i configure internal modem for dial up internet connection on FC 6.

I can't see anything about modem under FC6's network application (system/management/network). But windows see modem as well. But under windows model of the modem is SoftV92 Data Fax Modem. I don't think its real model of modem.

If there is a driver problem how can i determine to find modem model and where can i download driver?

Thank You

Hiya disdro,
There is a way to detect the chipset on your modem, which is exactly what you need before you can get it working.
Log back into Linux, and browse through your desktop menu for konsole/terminal, once you open that, then login as root like this

su -

{press enter}
{enter root password and press enter}
Then enter this command

lspci

You'll see some code scroll by that looks like this.

Look for the part that identifies your modem or just post the whole thing back here for more help. Hopefully you have a decent modem and it will work without much trouble.
Are you using KDE desktop or Gnome Desktop?
You should be able to type this command into the same terminal window as above

system-config-network

To bring up the network config tools, when you click on Create new, I think it allows you to select dialup connection.

I think model of my modem is

Should i install driver?

I am using Gnome. As you said i have try to create a new modem device from system-config-network menu. It allows to add a new modem device to dev/modem0. But when i click to activate it gives error no 2.
