Looking for Linux modem dirvers

[SaltyDuke]

Hello

i'm looking to set up a US Robotics Sportster 33.6 faxmodem on my SuSE Linux machine (Pro version 6.3).

Does anyone know where i can find drivers for it??? I've tried

http://www.driverguide.com

and

http://www.linmodems.org

but they were no use to me.

Anyone know where i can find a quick solution?

thanx in advance

Have you tried running wvdialconf ?
It is pretty good at setting up most modems.
Check the man page for more info...

If it is a standard external/internal modem, you don't need drivers.

Check out

http://www.usr.com/

and do a search there.

I think the US Robotics Sportster is a winmodem. There is a HOW TO on winmodems at:

http://www.tldp.org/docs.html

(I browse directory and look at pdfs:

http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/pdf/)

Good luck.

Yes, I think dkenneway is right:

If you can possibly afford it, you might save yourself
a lot of headaches by investing in a "real" modem.

the sportster was a stopgap solution. i reckon i will invest in a proper modem

thanx for all your help though!!!
