Thomas, The open source USB modem cdc_acm serves a variety of modems including some here with IDs 0421:0428 15eb:0001 0baf:0303 USRobotics The problem is that 1) USB ID is almost never on the advertising, for Microsoft services. 2) A single Brand Name may cover multuple chipsets. I'm copying to the List so that someone with a serviced modem may respond, Otherwise the onlyu option is to Google search with something like "modem USD Linux' MarvS On Fri, Oct 9, 2009 at 1:43 PM, thomas <thomaswalther@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Roland and Marvin, > > ok,ok, since I am not a programmer and since I have already > several "life-tasks": Do you know an USB-Analog-Modem, which is running with > those Modem-Instructions and needs no special driver and can be bought in > Middle Europe ? > > Regards and thanks Thomas > > ------------------ > Am Dienstag, 6.
