My laptop is a Dell 4150 and my pcmcia modem is an old IBM datafax 56k unit with an x-jack connector (model fru 02k4248).
The last versino of Linux that would detect the modem and dial out was Fedora 3 which had a program KUDZU that found the modem during installation and called it a "generic" modem. The GNOME network configuration program identified the modem as ttyS3 and local dial up was perfect. >From Fedora 4 on up, the pcmcia driver in the kernel changed from PCMCIA-cs to >PCMCIA -utils and no version of Fedora will drive the modem now. I tried Ubuntu 6 and 7 and used the GNOME network configuration to run ppp0 and the dial up modem. All the values stay in place except the tone/pulse selection which keeps going back to pulse on my system. Are PCMCIA modems out of date for all current Linux Kernels, including Ubuntu?
