Hello, I have a Sony VAIO PCG-F409 laptop with a Lucent ComOne MC221
Discovery v.90 Winmodem. I'd like to know if it's usable under Linux.
I ran the scanModem script and I'm attaching the results for you to
see. Below is some more information. If you need additional
procedures, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

with USB and bridge devices not displayed.
Please provide any independent information available on your modem.
If your modem is mounted on an ISA card, scanModem could not access it.
If an alternative boot into Microsoft windows can be done, do mouse
clicks on:
Start > Settings > Control Panel > Classical View (for Window XP) > System
> Hardware > Device Manager > Modems > Click on the + > Modem. Double click to
expand the graphic. Manufacturer information may be displayed. For example, CXT
stands for Conexant. Click the Diagnostics Tab. Record any hardware ID or vendor
and device information.
Next do the Query Modem and record the ATI specifications displayed such as:
ATI3 - Agere SoftModem Version 2.1.22
ATI5 - 2.1.22, AMR Intel MB, AC97 ID:SIL REV:0x27
Try to identify the modem setup file, with name perhaps MODEM.INF.
If may contain chipset Vendor informaton.
