That was interesting. SV Pro saw the modem OK. When starting, it gave an
"invalid response from modem" message. When it checked the modem, it said it
had found a Lucent modem, but the actual modem is a Hayes.
That doesn't mean much, the software just checks which init strings to
use with your modem and selects the appropriate model. I forgot: under
wine, SV Pro has certain problems with saving preferences (e.g. your
modem model and the init string). That is most probably the reason it
got an invalid response and had to query the modem again when starting
up. But using SV Pro was just to see if your modem is working at all, so
don't worry about that...
When I tried the
dialler, it worked fine, so wine will work with the com port.
So if you can dial out or send faxes, whatever, it's most likely your
banking software that has a problem with wine (or vice versa). Now you
could start fiddling with dll-overrides, setting different windows
versions, and so on. Tedious... ;-)
I wonder if the
machine has a winmodem installed which is confusing everything? lshw doesn't
show one. I will have a look tomorrow ( I am working from home using remote
desktop at the moment). Anyone any more suggestions?
Ian
For a winmodem you would need to install special kernel modules
(drivers) to make it work, so I'd say the chances that it confuses
anything are not very high, even if the machine had one.
Good luck, Nick.
