regarding the LUCENT modem packages at ibiblio, and the instructions in the 1.0.5 Modem Wizard:
'If you think you have a LUCENT Linmodem...
HOWEVER, first download the LUCENT modem package from the Pupget folder on ibiblio.org, run Pupget to install, then reboot Puppy.
I'm looking at: http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/dis ... ackages-1/
I'm assuming one of these is the right Lucent package...

assuming 2.4 kernel is the right one... or just try all three?
brain set on stun today...
Lucent DotPup at ibiblio, Modem Wiz info update
belated thanks, Guest!
just FYI- I used the 2.4 version; initially the Modem Wizard found nothing on the ttyS0-4 buttons. After installing (had a little confusion there, as this was my 1st add-on, and I tried to get the file name to show up in the file window instead of just clicking on it-duh!) the modem didn't function from the new ttyLT button, but was found by the Wizard on one of the S buttons.
It works- I'll re-do the whole thing soon with 1.0.6 and see where I went wrong. Immediate prob is to get its 56K instead of 28.8 out of it; but hey - no more d/ling thru XP!

-- if you use the PupGet package manager to download and install the
package, it only lists the correct one, so you can't go wrong.
Hi Barry!
I didn't realize that Pupget would automatically find the right package; think for dialuppers its likely their first use of it would be the Modem Wizard. And... they would be porting it in on CD or diskette until connected.
ps if you still take scifi breaks, you might like this:
