Re: Winmodem question

Hello,

I already tried that (well, almost...). I downloaded the ltmdm-1.4.tgz 
file and worked with that instead of the port.

After inserting the line You suggested I rebooted, and got the modem 
recognized (shows up in dmesg etc), but then I got:

	"could not find ioport base reg" (line 1194 in ltmdmsio.c)

I also did some research (better name for "surfing" :-) ) and found this 
page:

	http://www.sfu.ca/~cth/ltmodem/

which says that AMR modems are not supported. As my Windows 2000 says 
"Toshiba software modem AMR", I guess this is a rather strong indication 
that I'm having bad luck here, or do You have any other ideas?
