Hi,
I have Intex-PcTel HSP56 modem with me. Its working perfectly on my Win XP. I recently working on shifting over to Linux. But cannot complete that as my Modem does not work with Fedora Core 2. Please let me know if there are any drivers for the same. If I have to replace my modem which is the best compatible (and cheap!!) modem if I need to work with fedora.
regards Prabhakar

You can check for a driver for your modem at http://www.linmodems.org/ http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/welcome.html http://start.at/modem
Some of the PC-Tel chips can be made to work with linux. The above links will help you.
Best option is to go for an external modem. However, in case you want to save money and want a cheaper solution you can try Connexant or Motorola SM56. Linux drivers for Connexant chips are available while Motorola had put up RPMs for Red Hat 8, 9, etc. but am not sure if they have released / updated the same for Fedora Core 2.
Hope it helps.

The linmodem site has various drivers but the full version is available for a price, not free. The free version is limited to 14kbps.
Suppose one were to choose a new internal modem available in lamington road, then what make of linmodem would be best suited for a wide variety, especially on P4 systems and latest linux distros of RedHat, SuSe, Mandrake etc. There are websites for compatible hardware, but If anyone has actually purchased one from Lam. Road and is satisfied with the drivers available and the ease of installation, then the details for the same would be most appreciated. At present I am switching between XP (for internet) and Linux too. Xandros does not have a firewall so its very scary to go online. There are too many entry attempts being detected by my firewall.

This priced version is for which chipset ? PC-Tel or Conexant ?

Motorola's official drivers for its SM56 Soft Modem Chip are available at http://www.motorola.com/softmodem/driver.htm#linux in RPM format for various Red Hat and Mandrake Distros. There isn't a driver for Fedora yet.
