That modem in the computer is a conexant of some sort. It told me to
go to http://www.linmodems.org/ or
http://www.linuxant.com/drivers/modemident.php
I get ScanModems.gz
Of course I have to get this on my Windows computer.
Winzip opens it and I get a file called
scanModem.2009030148
What the heck do I do with this?
I was afraid of something like this !!!!
I have to put it on a floppy and somehow move it to the Linux
computer and make it do something ???????

Although there has been some attempt to create Linux support for
win-modems...
in general they are not supported.
Your best bet would be to get an external serial modem (note: as in
serial port...not USB)
There is virtually a 100% chance of success.
Of course, with DSL the same price as dial-up I think I'd switch over
to DSL...
as you connect via your Ethenet card and most of them are supported by
Linux
Agreed, back in the day I just picked up a US Robotics modem, until I
had the options of DSL or cable providers. I found that few Winmodems
were well supported. It was no fun.
