Re: [aclug-L] modem

[Truong Do <tcdo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I found out what is the problem with my modem.  I set up my PnP sound card
with the command sndconfig on RedHat.  This command modifies the file
/etc/isaconfig.conf.  This file contain the information about my modem.
What the command did was commented out all the lines about modem and
update the file with new sound configuration.  I went into the file and
uncomment out the line about the modem and it works.
