Has anyone had any joy getting a winmodem to work with linux, or know how I could set up mine to work
Lucent LT Winmodem
I have been trying to get it to work on a Packard Bell Easy One Dc Laptop. I was would much rather have the internal modem working, don't want to buy a new one. I am running Mandrake 8.0

You seem to be in luck, Lucent have released some drivers and other people appear to be working on them. Two useful urls are: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ http://www.linmodems.org/

You will need to build a new kernel or possibly you may be able to build the modules in depending on how mandrake sets things up. I have used the drivers which someone provided the link too, so I could get my PCMCIA winmodem (also LT winmodem) working on my Vaio, *BUT* it was not easy as the instructions are (might be were) wrong. If you need some more help I will actually try downloading the archive in a minute and installing the drivers so will be able to give you more feedback then.

You appear to be even more in luck! there are pre-compiled RPMs for Mandrake 8.0 here (look at the bottom of the page) http://www.heby.de/ltmodem If you are still running the standard kernel with Mandrake 8 you will need this one:- http://www.physcip.uni-stuttgart.de/heby/ltmodem/mandrake/ltmodem-kv_2.4.3_2...
