hallo Linux user!
Hab mir gerade das linux auf meine Festplatte gespielt läuft wunderbar aber ohne internet kann ihc auch linux nicht arbeiten! suche daher Einen Modem-treiber Für das modem "Creative Modem Blaster v.92 PCI"! Erkennen tuts das Linux net! Noch einen zusatztinfo: hab linux Mandrake8.1!
wenn mir jemand helfen kann bitte an mich wenden (stefan.prinz@dr.com)

Re: Modem Treiber
Für den auf der Creative Steckkarte verbauten Chip "Creative DS1830" ( <a href="ftp://62.189.242.185/pub/artwork/a5_rgb ... _pci_c.jpg" target="_blank"><!--auto-->ftp://62.189.242.185/pub/artwork/a5_rgb ... <!--auto--> ) habe ich ebensowenig einen Treiber gefunden wie auf der Herstellerseite ein Notiz zu finden ist ob dieses Produkt überhaupt ein Modem im engeren Sinne ist. Mit grosser Wahrscheinlichkeit ist es lediglich ein Winmodem.

Winmodem Mini-FAQ
1. If Winmodems are not really modems, why do manufacturers make them?
It all comes down to cost. First, a winmodem lacks parts found in regular modems-- these parts are "emulated" by software running on your CPU. This lowers the unit cost to manufacture them. Second, most consumers using Microsoft Windows will never realize that their "56K Modem" is actually a winmodem, so the OEMs are happy.
2. Oops, I bought a Winmodem. Will it work with Linux?
Not without some effort. A Winmodem requires software to emulate the hardware missing from the modem card. For some winmodems, such as the 3Com/US Robotics Winmodems, this software is only available for Microsoft Windows. For most others, there are groups adapting proprietary drivers to function as "Linmodem" drivers.
3. This all sounds way over my head. Just tell me where to get the .rpm.
Sorry, the whole idea of using binary drivers in a Free operating system is an ugly hack. Consider this an opportunity to learn more about your computer
Honestly, you must know which of several types of winmodem you have in order to pick the right driver.
Please remember: if you have a choice, a hardware modem is always the best choice for Linux users. If you have a laptop with a built-in winmodem, though, you'll need a "linmodem" driver.
4. Are there any external Winmodems? Am I always safe getting an external modem?
Standard serial port (RS-232) external modems are usually fine, no matter what make or model.
Many USB external modems are winmodems and should be avoided. If you are interested in the status of USB support in Linux, please follow the link to the Linux-USB uusbd development page.
5. How about PCI modems? Are all PCI modems winmodems?
No, there are at least three types of controller-based PCI modems. They are somewhat more difficult to set up than a jumpered ISA modem or an external serial port modem. Linux 2.4 will probably include automagic setup of PCI hardware modems.
If you are curious, these modems are:
Lucent Venus chipset:
Multitech MT5634ZPX-PCI,
Actiontec PCI56012 (IBM 33L4618 or GVC MD0223)
USR/TI Kermit chipset:
the 3Com/USR 3CP5610 family, which includes models 5613, 5609, and OEM models 2976, 2977, and 3258
TOPIC TP560i chipset:
Zoom 2920 (Digitan DS550-558),
Well Communications FM-56PCI-TP (GVC MD0321), and
Archtek Smartlink 5634PCV.
Conexant RC56D-PCI chipset:
