Hi!
I have troubles about establishing internet connection in Linux because the system doesn't recognise my modem. So I'm searching for a CNet SoftV92 Data Fax Modem linux driver but I cannot find it anywhere. Can anyone help me? :/

Soft modems are normally winmodems

by Ray Harinec Apr 20, 2005 7:09AM PDT

They require Windows as the Operating System to perform the modem functions that a full processor modem's on board processor does. That is why they are so inexpensive.

The full processor modems usually cost more than $50, the USR is about $68 at newegg.

You need to try CNETUSA

While we're a friendly bunch, you may have thought CNET had something to do with your modem.
