<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have been trying to make the jump to Linux for
some time now, but my main stumbling block being my HCF modem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is recognized as a Vendor ID: 127A Device
ID: 1005 Sub Vendor ID: 122D Sub Device ID:
4008</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm running Mandrake 9 and have loaded the latest
rpm for this distro.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Using Kppp (and Gppp) it would seem to be able
to recogize the modem (Modem device: /dev/modem)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>When the flow control is set to 'Xon/off' or
'None' and when I use the ATI query it recognises the modem, but brings
back the dialog box with blank values against all the ATI values.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If I try to connect with any combination of
the avilable settings the best I get is a message of "Modem ready" no dial tone
or squawks. After waiting a minute or more I kill it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know that in windows I had to turn off the 'Wait
for dial tone' button, however that doesn't seem to make a
difference.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any Ideas / help please. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>
