Thank you,but I have new hardware,only my modem is old... Okay,thanxplaydayz wrote:You should try Wary. That is where support for the older dial-up modems is now.I have an old hardware lucent modem,and puppy 5.2 wont recognize it.Puppy 4.3.3. is working flaweless,and recognize modem "out of the box"
I think I included analog modem support package to the Snow Puppy-012 when I woof builded it. Snow Puppy is based on playdayz Lucid 511 specs but most non ubuntu applications are updated and it is made using latest woof.

I am sorry. I have misled you. I havent ltmodem modules included in Snow Puppy. But I have compiled ltmodem modules though, the sources I found here:
http://bkhome.org/sources/kernel-2.6.35 ... ty/modems/
The pet includes ltmodem.ko, ungrap-serial.ko and v8250.ko, ltmodem firmware and the pet installs them and executes depmod -a

Diamond,
I am the "modem guy". I can help if I have so specifics to work with. Generally speaking, Lucent modem support is included in the wary series (which still might work with your newer hardware) and in the lupuplus and luppluslibre 528 distros. Many modem drivers are now in precise pup, but the lucent driver is not among them.
One determining factor in whether that driver is present is the linux kernel version used in a pup. The lucent driver has not kept up with the kernel used in precise (k3.2.29). Actually, there is no indication that the driver is supported for kernels 3.x, so you are limited to puppies that use the 2.6.x kernels.
My recommendation for the long term is to obtain an inexpensive USB modem. I have a Rosewill RNX-56USB ($20) that should be supported for a long time. I base that on the fact that its basic driver is included with the kernel. Mine even works on fatdog64. With that driver (cdc_acm) the modem works but does not produce modem sounds. There is a linuxant driver, dgcmodem, that provides the sound. I expect to be providing versions of that driver for puppy distros that want it. It is kernel-specific, so it may not be available early on in a new distro.
