Any way to get my winmodem to work with SuSE 9.1?

I'm newly converted to Linux, and I was wondering if there are any driver packages for SuSE that can get it to recognize and work with my winmodem until I can buy a new one next week.

SuSE supposedly can work with WinModems, but Ive never got mine to work. Have you tried enabling "stupid mode", assuming the modem is detected? SuSE tech support suggested that to me for my winmodem, but it still didnt work.

If the modem is based on a Conexant chipset, then search this JL for psi42's posts and he has a link on his signature to the last "full speed" and free version of the Linmodems.org winmodem tarball for use on any distro.

I worked superbly for my HP notebook's modem!:)


Thank you to psi42, it saved me heaps of work!

Wonderful. Thanks very much, guys. My winmodem uses a conexant chipset, so I'll give that link in psi42's sig a try.
