but in vain. Also can anyone please help me in configuring my
internal modem
Motorola SM56. Please provide detailed steps to get these both working.
As mentioned in my earlier mail,u have to download the driver file from the motorola's site .. Here's the URL: http://e-www.motorola.com/products/softmodem/support/sm56_5.1_i38 6.rpm
And before downloading, don't forget to read the docs that they've put up on the above mentioned link's parent page which is
http://e-www.motorola.com/products/softmodem/support/software.htm l
So,after u download the RPM file install the file using (Log in as root)
$ rpm -Uvh sm56.rpm (Replace sm56.rpm with whichever file u've downloaded) $ /usr/local/sm56 $ reboot (I'm not very sure why we need reboot,but it din't work for me .. I had to reboot)
They've also got a man page for the modem which u can read by typing
$ man sm56
And voila! yr SM56 Internal modem is ready !! As of now I'm using SuSE 7.1(Thanks to Navin for giving me the CDs) and the above mentioned procedure worked for me .. However it failed in Caldera OpenLinux 2.3 .. May be the older kernel was the problem ..
Hope this helps u out :-)
