Did you know SuSE Linux 6.2 has WinModem support?

[Octalman]

Excuse the teaser, but it is at least partly true. Read on:<br>
<br>
The documentation says SuSE Linux 6.2 does NOT support winmodems, but 6.2 installs /dev/hfmodem and there are several source code files for an HCF (dumb) modem.<br>
<br>
I bought a U S Robotics external modem, so my Amquest 56K winmodem (Rockwell HCF56K chip set) is sitting on the shelf for now because I have other fires to fight.<br>
<br>
If anybody is interested in hacking the SuSE code and needs reference material, a complete copy of Rockwell's HCF56K modem manual is (or at least was) at <A HREF="

http://www.amquestmodem.com"

http://www.amquestmodem.com</A>.

Rockwell's commands appear to be similar, if not identical, to the Hayes commands used by all &quot;smart&quot; modems. You will need Acrobat to read the manual. Port addresses etc. are anybody's guess -- neither Amquest nor any other winmodem maker is willing to publish their interface spec.<br>
<br>
Enjoy!
