Checking System > Administration > Hardware > Drivers only revealed a software modem that was not activated so have ignored that. lspci output as follows:- 00:00.0 Host bridge: ALi Corporation M1644/M1644T Northbridge+Trident (rev 01) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: ALi Corporation PCI to AGP Controller 00:02.0 USB Controller: ALi Corporation USB 1.1 Controller (rev 03) 00:04.0 IDE interface: ALi Corporation M5229 IDE (rev c3) 00:06.0 Multimedia audio controller: ALi Corporation M5451 PCI AC-Link Controller Audio Device (rev 01) 00:07.0 ISA bridge: ALi Corporation M1533/M1535/M1543 PCI to ISA Bridge [Aladdin IV/V/V+] 00:08.0 Bridge: ALi Corporation M7101 Power Management Controller [PMU] 00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100 (rev 0d) 00:0c.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB22/A IEEE-1394a-2000 Controller (PHY/Link) 00:10.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus Controller (rev 01) 00:11.0 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 00:11.1 CardBus bridge: Toshiba America Info Systems ToPIC100 PCI to Cardbus Bridge with ZV Support (rev 32) 00:12.0 System peripheral: Toshiba America Info Systems SD TypA Controller (rev 03) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Trident Microsystems CyberBlade XPAi1 (rev 82) The google search results look more promising than earlier - but will need to wait until I have finished some paid employment!
