Download, compile, and install newer drivers from the Linuxant site. Update the kernel by downloading a plain vanilla kernel and compiling it.Ģ. The target machine, as mentioned, is a PIII running SuSE 8.0.
Going to the Zoom web site doesn't help, as they seem to barely know how the drivers work at all. Secondly, the drivers provided hardly compile at all, and fail giving a cryptic error message that is not at helpful.
Older machines that require dial up modems typically don't have the specs for modern distros, which makes the requirement a bit silly. That means a distro released after about 2007 (Ubuntu Feisty Fawn or greater, for example) but if you're running that kind of distro, you probably have new enough hardware that you're not bothering with dial up modems at all. I bought one of these modems in order to rescue an old Linux box (PIII 555Mhz, 128M RAM) running SuSE Linux 8.2 and was immediately frustrated to learn it was going to take more work than I'd been led to believe.įor starters, the drivers included on the CD only work on distributions that are running a 2.6.19 or newer kernel. That was clearly the work of the marketing team, as in reality, we Linux users need to do a bit more work to get on line. This cool little USB telephone modem sells for about US$50 and proclaims proudly on the package that it is compatible with Windows, Macintosh, and Linux.
