Hello if fact I am using SM56 speaker phone modem and is working(with RH7.1). But the problem is that it will not work with RH versions higher than 7.2. The kernal will not support. I reccoment to use "Connexant modem". As they provide source code we can use for any disto , any version. this should be popularised sreekumar

If you use Motorola's SM 56 SpeakerPhone modem, there is no way it
will work with GNU/Linux.
I have tried, and resigned.
SM 56 data/fax and data only modems may work, not the SM56
speakerphone modems.
With much sympathies,

The `non-free' driver could be made to work with Redhat >= 7.2. I have made it a point never to give support for a `non-free' thing as it is evil in that it keeps the users' divided and helpless. The newer kernels will support but I refuse to give my support. ;-)

Yes, the right way to go and support. Thanks Sree for pointing this out and suggesting this alternative.
Best...

For those who have sm56 soft modem, there is a kernel patch required
to make it work with kernel higher than version 7.1( redhat).
