[ILUG] Modem used to connect to tinet

[David Reynolds]

As reported to this list, I've been having problems connecting to tinet. I'm
using  a modem with Rockwell chipset.  If plug-n-play is enabled, the bios
reports it as "ISA PnP K56flex fax/modem". I have disabled plug-n-play on
modem. Also I want to connect over ordinary domestic phone line. The only
installation of modem was done by YaST. I am using reduced baud rate of 57600. I
don't know much about modems, and don't know how to disable V90 functions if
they are responsible for continuing problems (and large phone bill).

If this is not a good modem for linux, manufacturer will replace it with one
that is.  (Originally I went to list on www of modems that can used with
linux, and then manufacturer installed their standard one anyway. List  was a
bit daunting because it  included alot that are no longer made.) So any strong
recommendations welcome.

Cheers,

David
