Fedora

I have just succesfully dual booted Fedora to my computer (Thinkpad 600E), 
Windows 98 SE. My problem is that I cannot seem to get Linux/Fedora to recognize 
either the internal modem (Com 2 ttyS1) or the external modem (Com 1 ttyS0). 
My ISP is AOL, any help?

Thanks,

Howard

Check out "scanModem" from
 http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz

Even if it doesn't solve your problem it will give you extra
info which will help if you need further advice.

BTW you do have a symbolic link in /dev on the lines of :
modem  -> /dev/xxx
where xxx is the modem driver?

May i ask , how do you know that your internal modem in Linux AND NOT in 
Windows
is on COM2/ttyS1 . ?
The fact that your internal modem under Windows might be on COMx 
doesn't mean anything about
Linux . For example i have a Lucent LT Winmodem under Windows XP 
Proffesional and Fedora Core 1 .
The thing is that under Windows it is connected on port "COM3" and under 
Linux on port "ttyLT0" a port
created by the modem driver .

Is it possible that you are facing a similar situation ?

The original poster has a Thinkpad 600E.  This is an mwave modem, which
needs the drivers from here:
