I have winXP and RH7.0 installed on my pc, I'm looking into migrating completely to linux, but I cannot get linux to recognise my internal modem. Its a ambient v90 fax modem with an intel chipset.
How can I go about setting it up? I have an old U.S Robotics external modem, would this be better to set up?

Have you downloaded the latest Linux drivers from Intel's web site?

The older Linux driver did not support the latest release of Red Hat Linux. The new driver does.

Here is the link to the driver page.

Remove any spaces from the pasted link.

You need to select the correct driver for the version of the Linux Kernal that you are using, and the Modem Chip.
