Conexant modem with USR chipset

[DruManiac]

im using mandrake 9.1 with kernel 2.4.21-0.13... ive got the drivers from linuxant.com and i couldnt activate it and it didnt even create /dev/modem folder... is there anyway u can help me with that ? bu the way its a soft modem.... or can u help me with USR Sportster 33.6 External Voice modem?
id appreciate any useful help... coz ive been trying to do it for 2 weeks!

the external modem is prolly easier to get going, espcially if its a serial modem, just plug it into a serial port, fire up a dialing program like kppp and specify the port its on, and your dialup info, dial away

i know i did that... ive got a robotics sportster external voice modem with serial port, ive done exactly what u said but system doesnt find the modem! it doesnt show in the harddrake!.... i guess ill go buy an internal 56k genuine USR Sportster Voice.... not a ****ed up thing with a USR chipset :) thnx anyways.... im still waiting for more answers to my question..

ahh another, grrr, look harddrake doesnt have to see it, just dialing program, and it doesnt have to see it, just point it to the correct port, and do not try to use the wizards to do so, or you will never get it to work

i dude i got it working now but i tried from wvdial and kppp too b4... it didnt work coz my kernel, im using kernel 2.4.21-0.13-enterprise which can see 1GB of RAM... i loaded normal kernel and it worked but i can only use 883 mb of my ram.... thnx anyways

you can recompile that kernel with high memory support to fix that :)
