Actually, I stated that it is an internal modem (no one makes ISA's anymore that I am aware of, so it has to be PCI), and that it is marketed as tested ready for Linux Kernel 2.4.x. > All we know > is "I have this modem that works in RHL8 but RHL9 only detected 2 of 3 > times, and it doesn't connect" There are soo many possibilities, I > haven't a clue where to start. > > Some info on it form the running RHL8 setup would be a great help. > > -Thomas What was broken from RH8 to RH9 that would cause what is supposed to be a superior version of RH to fail to recognize a Linux-ready piece of hardware that the older/lesser version successfully recognized? Or, given that it now seems to repeatedly recognize the modem (at least for the moment), what has changed that would cause the interface to the ISP to fail post-hardware-handshake? Thanks! dmc
