US Robotics modem - 56K V.92 Compatibility

[Aris 0]

Hello,

 

I have just bought my new USB US Robotics modem.

After reading most of your posts about this manufacturer,

now I would be pleased buddies If you could tell me, which

distro will detect my device 100% :-)

 

At the moment I am thinking of buying:

 

Fedora Core 2/3

Mandrake 10.1

 

Thank you in advance :-)

 

Greetings,

 

Aris K. Vougias

What exact model do you have? If it is the US Robotics 56k winmodem, it will not work.

On a kind of related note, if y'all are like me, I have several 56 K internal modems all over the place, as the result of moving boxes over to cable or DSL.

 

A few days ago, I decided to go through all of them just to see if any would work under Linux. To my surprise and delight, fully two of the nine I tried actually worked! One was a really old 16 bit card that could only manage 9600. But one was an old 3Com PCI that got 51000!

 

I thik I'll take the rest to the shooting range and see how they stand up to my Colt 45...
