<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Hi there,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am running mandrake 8.2 on a Dell Inspiron 2650 laptop
supposedly equipped with a Actiontec MD56ORD V.92 MDC modem. It was identified
as an HSF modem under WindowsXP, though it seems to be an unknown quantity under
mandrake Linux.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I installed the latest version of the hsfmodem driver with
no difficulties and got kppp to dial out and run the pppd daemon. And that's
where the story ends. The modem does not react to any stimulus, but when I
disconnect kppp, the computer crashes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Am I jumping the gun by trying to run a V.92 modem with
the current drivers, or am I doing something even more daring and
stupid?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>All suggestions will be gratefully received.</FONT></DIV>
