[Soekris] PCI Modem for Console Access on net 4801

[Heather Lockridge]

Oops,

I was planning on running Linux and was hoping to have this modem allow me to get console or tty  access via a dial-up.  I'd rather not have to use an external modem and connect it by cable to the built in console port.

Thanks for your help.

Hi

A *lot* of modem cards these days are "win modems". Most of the real  
processing is on the driver side rather than in hardware. That's  
going to make doing this a little tough.

What OS are you planning to use? It may make a difference in terms of  
what drivers are or are not functional.
