<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear Friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have an AMD K6 based machine with VIA mother
board, 256 MB Ram, 20 GB hardisk, Mercury (SIS Chipset based) VGA card, Creative
Sound Blaster Card and a Conexant PCI Modem (Internal). The system works on RH8
and has the kernel 2..18-14 i586.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I downloaded the appropriate rpm package for the
Modem from Linuxant site.The system detected my modem's Vendor Id as 127a and
device Id as 2015. I used the command 'lspci -n' Following is the Information
that is available regarding my Modem in the Device Information Menu of KDE
Desktop:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I updated my machine with the rpm package
as illustrated in the help part for HSF modem. And tried out the KPPP way and
also the WVDial way, but nothing seems working. In the help of WVDIAL.RPM it is
told that there will be a 'wvdial.conf' in '/etc/' I dont see it there. I
have something else in /etc/bin with the name 'wvdial' and 'wvdialconf'. At the
terminal when I ran wvdialconf certain messages appeared and the system started
searching for the modem, but failed in doing so. The result was 'modem was
not detected'.</FONT></DIV>
