clw666 : 08/11/01 04:39 PM : Incident created -   I have an SGS-Thomson USB 56K modem on a system with Mandrake 8.0. HradDrake recognises the modem but the control centre configuration attempts always fail to connect, Do I need to (re)install the driver, not use PAP or is the modem just incompatible with the OS? Thanks very much Claire

The short of it is, I don't believe you will able to get this working in Linux. You might try http://linmodems.org ----- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this question.
