Modem Problem

[Smith, Herb]

No.  If you reread my question you will see that I replaced my winmodem
with a hardware modem precisely for that reason.  Kudzu seemed to detect
the new modem fine and configure it.  I still get the error number 8
when I try to activate it, however.

Is this discussed somewhere in the documentation?  Is there some
reference that explains the meaning of the Error Number 8 ??

You probably have what is known as a winmodem. It works in windows
because
their drivers include support for capabilities usually handled by the
modem. If you have the hardware model numbers you can check at
http://linmodems.org to see if there is a driver you can use for your
modem.
