Marvin Is there any success registered with this driver and Jaunty ? Zsolt,do you know anyone ? My question is because I am planning to migrate from Fedora do Ubuntu and this modem is one of my motivations. And, I don't wish to "jump from the camp-fire into the fry-pan ":-) Isamar 2009/7/16 Marvin Stodolsky <marvin.stodolsky@xxxxxxxxx>: > David, > > 0780 Communication controller: Agere Systems V.92 56K WinModem > Primary device ID: 11c1:048c > is indeed among the most difficult modem hardware to service. > > Success had mostly been with the older agrsm-20080203.tar.gz at > http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/ltmodem/sv92/ > > If you haven't tested those, uninstall/delete the current drivers and > try those.
