Tony, scanModem can only read PCI cards and did not detect a PCI card modem on your System. But send us the outputs of $ lspci $ lspci -nv just in case there is a PCI modem with an unusal Class designation. Also read the instructions from SoftModem.txt for getting modem chipset iinformation under a Microsoft boot. MarvS scanModem maintainer On 1/11/07, Anthony Ettinger <anthony@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
