This modem requires proprietary drivers. Do a google for
linux (your modem)
to find them.
Currently trying out Knoppix 3.8.1 My PC has an internal modem on COM3, identified as a Conexant HSF 56K HSFi. I have set this up as the modem for KPPP but when I try to connect I get the report 'modem busy'. I have tried various alternatives, including getting KDE to detect 'unsupported Winmodem', which it does.
Can someone help walk me through this ?
