Hello, I am new to the group and looking for some help or suggestions.
I currently run win xp and Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit on a dual boot machine.
I would like to set-up my modem in Ubuntu to use as a TAM with voice
mail and back up fax should my all in one die. The problem I have is I
do not believe that either of the 2 modems I currently have will
actually work in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit(See attached Modem.txt). From my
research both modems would work but only with a 32 bit kernel and or
kernel version 2.6 or lower.
I guess my questions are,
* Is my above statement correct for the 2 modems, They will not work
in Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.
* If they will not work can you recommend one that will. I would
prefer an internal or usb modem. But would consider an rs232 as a
last resort.
Thanks very much for your time and help.
Sincerely
Kevin Farringer

Some modem drivers can only be used in 32 bit modem on x86_64 systems,
while some others are competent on x86_64 Systems. Cases are:
1) http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/bigarch/archive-seventh/msg03119.html
for the snd-hda-intel audio+modem driver. Also applicable to AC97 modem controllers.
In both cases, 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component.
2) For USB modems using the slusb.ko driver. 32 bit libraries must be installed to support the slmodemd helper having a precompiled 32 bit component
3) The hsfmodem and hcfpcimodem drivers for Conexant chipsest modes are x86_64 competent.
4) agrsm packages for LSI/AgereSystems softmodems are not competent on x86_64 systems.
