Re: modem problems

[Sivakumar Shanmugasundaram <sshanmu@xxxxxxxxx>]

I believe you have a winmodem, which as the name says,
will work ONLY with windows.
winmodems lack some hardware (found in external
modems) and depends on OS drivers software to operate.
search in deja.com to find out if anyone has written
linux winmodem drivers. good luck.
