I have got a win modem, well so i think. This modem needs to be installed with the correct drivers so that it can turn on. Now the modem is a D-Link DU-560. Is it possible to get drivers for is so that is will run under Redhat 8?

Thanks

Tim

sorry to pour water on, but ...
I can't find a listing for that modem on the compatibility lists. The closest to it is a DMF560TX which is a PCMCIA modem/ethernet combo.

I don't know for sure whether you'd find any drivers elsewhere for it, but if its a winmodem, its basically crippled so the answer would be a definite 'NO'.

For those interested in how a winmodem differs, the article WinModem and WinPrinters --- Just Say "No!" (http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue29/tag_winmodem.html) makes for some enlightening reading!
