No, there are no modem drivers on the distro, unless of course the serial driver is called upon. Your best bet is to get scanModem from http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ get scanModem.gz from there http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/packages/scanModem.gz download it and while running your linux $ su - psswd: ****** # # gunzip scanModem.gz # chmod +x scanModem # ./scanModem will return some stuff. Inquiring into your previous message, you said an Agere/LtModem of some sorts if that is the case and you are sure of it get the martian code driver http://phep2.technion.ac.il/linmodems/packages/ltmodem/kernel-2.6/martian/ There are some Lucent/Agere winmodems with no linux support though.
