First thing to do is to check what type of modem you have. You can do
this by cat'ing /proc/pci as below:
$ cat /proc/pci
Look at the output and find the modem, for me it looks like this:
Bus 2, device 4, function 0:
Communication controller: Conexant HSF 56k HSFi Modem (rev 1).
IRQ 5.
Master Capable. Latency=64.
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd0200000 [0xd020ffff].
I/O at 0x3000 [0x3007].
If you have a Conexant HSF or HCF modem, you should be able to use the
Linux drivers at http://www.linuxant.com. They have drivers for RH9 with
the stock kernels, and they installation is fairly simple (even if you
have to use the "hard way" by using the tarball they have there).
I have found the drivers to be stable and have enabled me to
successfully use my winmodem under linux.
Cheers,
Josh
