Wallstreet and dial-up

Postby davidis » 06 Sep 2004, 12:37

I loaned my old Wallstreet G3 powerbook (running YDL 3) to a friend. He's just moved house and won't have ADSL for a couple of weeks.

Never having set up a dial-up modem before in Linux, can anyone advise on how this is done using the Wallstreet's internal modem?

Many thanks!

I thought modem is not supported on this machine.

What modem does that machine use? I don't remember how I found it, but my PowerBook 3400c uses a DECchip 21041 [Tulip Pass 3]. I read in another forum that the tulip driver was broken in Red Hat 7 or something like that. They seemed to get their modems working, but nothing has worked for me so far.

Thanks for the info, Kamika. If it's not supported, no great loss. My friend gets ADSL back in a couple of days anyway, and they'll carry on using MacOS9 (reluctantly!) for basic browsing till then.
