Date:8th April, 2009, From: Shankar Jog To:List Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sub: Shankar Jog, India, BOSS GNU/Linux 3.0, kernel 2.6.22-3-486 Sir, I am sending herewith attached a file "modemData.txt" which was generated by scanModem.GZ when I ran it on my BOSS Linux O.S. installed on my Windows XP machine, as dual boot. I use D-Link Analog Modem, model "DFM-560iS-IN" , 56 kbps, dial up modem. This works fine on Windows XP. And I am sending you this e-mail from the internet connection on Windows XP. I am not much conversant with command-line operations, since I normally use Windows which is all graphical. I have learned to operate Windows from books and trial-and-error method. I have no formal education in computer world. I am pasting herebelow the dataModem.txt file. With this background, I want help from you, so that, my modem is detected by my Linux system and also configured, so that I can use internet from this system also. Kindly do the needful at the earliest. With regards, Shankar Jog .................. dataModem.txt file is also attached. dataModem.txt file is as follows: Only plain text email is forwarded by the Discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxx List Server, as HTML can contain viruses.
