I have a system that needs to use a modem for Internet access. I've tried just about everything I can think of to get the modem to be seen and have had no luck so far. I've actually used two different internal modems (these are NOT Winmodems) with absolutely no luck!
If I have to go buy a modem to get this to work, fine. But I need to know if any specific brands will be recognized.
Any ideas? Why is a modem so difficult to set up now on F10? This make no sense to me.
And by the way NetworkManager seems to be thoroughly clueless when it comes to traditional dialup modems. What gives?
Cheers,
Chris

1. Can you see the modem in or on /dev/ttyS?
2. Can you talk to it with minicom?

I set up an USB EVDO modem a short while back and Network Manager worked very well with it.

There are very very few which are not winmodems and are internal. Which ones are you trying and what PCI identifiers do they have ?
