[HLUG] Anyone had success with Lucent 56k (winmodem) in Ubuntu 5.10?

[Matt Rhys-Roberts]

Thanks to all who replied...

Well, I got as far as running ./scanmodem to discover my winmodem's 
requirements, as directed by linmodems.org. Then I was put off by the 
sheer amount of extra things it needed, ie. me having to manually 
getting and putting code and drivers in the right place. I was 
overwhelmed by the number of components I'd need to get, and the total 
complexity (ie. reduced likelihood of success) of the whole exercise.

So I have chosen the path of least resistance, which is to grab an old 
56k external serial modem, and persevere with that instead!

Cheers,
Matt
