I am trying to get my PCMCIA modem to work on my lap top, and it does not
get identified correctly, I keeps on getting found as a generic memory card.
The card has no name brand on it, so I have no idea who made it. Any ideas
on how to fix it.

I am using Slackware 3.5 on a Fujitsu Lifebook 435Dx...

Thanks

Lou

Dies it have any identification at all on it? Are you sure it IS a modem and
NOT a generic memory card? ;-)

Yes I am sure it is a modem, it has a generic label on it that says v.34+
33.6 fax modem, and it also works as a modem in window$. I know it is not a
winmodem, because I did not have to install any special software to get it
to work in window$.

on the back of it, it has the following:

PCMCIA Fax/Modem
MD33602 FM336lk

and then a bunch of FCC information.

I had a PCI Winmodem that I could not identify to find a driver for a
while back. I do not remember where, but there is a website that you
can put in the FCC info and it will return manufacturer info on the
device. Not much help since I don't know the URL, but at least you know
it's there if you can find it.

You might check the FCC number at their web site...Sorry but I cant find the url
at present.

and then a bunch of FCC information.

Well I was able to get on the FCC web site (www.fcc.gov), and I found out it
was made by ACTIONTEC Electronics. I went to their web site, but their was
not useful information there since all of the information is geared to
either Mac, or a M$ OS(i.e. DOS, window$). I was able to find out that it
uses a lucent chipset if that helps....

Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but if it uses a Lucent chipset, I
think it's gonna be a winmodem. If so, you can't use it with Linux.

If this is true, I never installed any divers in win 95 to make it work
there, just lugged it in, and it worked right out of the box...I will se if
I can contact Actiontec to see if I can find out....

Thanks
