Both of my dell latitudes have conexant dialup modems in them which
seem not to work on any kernel so far. I was wondering if anybody has
had luck with these. I one D110 and one D330 dialup modem. The dialup
utility in control-cetre doesn’t detect them.

You can try to install modemmanager, maybe helps.
I didnt have much luck with wvdial for my usb-modem and had to install network-manager.
You can read it in the other post about umts-panel, perhaps you find another solution.thx caprea,
From what I can gather online these are pure winmodems and would need a proprietory driver, so I’m
going to take them out and toss. I’m looking for a modem that works with linux
without any sort of ndiswrapper stuff,malanrich
My desktops have been nothing but Dells and for years Modem Blaster v.92 were the modems that worked always and without fail (external through USB). Don’t know if they’re still available, but if you can find them they seem to always connect to Linux (Mepis, MX, antiX–desktop and laptop).

thx malanrich,
These are laptops that I was looking to use my fax machine with. Ever try the pcmcia modem blaster.
I just ordered one to tryCreative Modem Blaster V.92 for Notebooks DI5611 70BX000007042 New - Open Box New (Other) $8.95 Buy It Now Free ShippingIf that don’t I’ll try usb one
I did get my ancient pcmcia modem to work for now…it’s a model xj4288
a xjack 28.8/14.4 data/faxI’ve never tried anything but the Blaster external usb. If I needed one now I’d first try the one you ordered.
The problem is that my dell laptop don’t have free usb ports when I have it
running…only has 3 usb ports and one is the fan, one is a mouse, and the other
is a usb memory stick. I’ll see if my friend has a external powered usb ports.
