I also am a little more than a newbe to linux<BR>with several computers running Windows version x and Linux mostlly using<BR>Lucent Viking modems.<BR><BR>I have been trying to make these work in linux and have been reading all of<BR>the topics from several mailing lists with very little help until I found<BR>someone saying that this modem was all software driven (duh I knew that) and<BR>that the drivers were somekind of seceret (did not know that can't even see<BR>how, sence i found them?) and that they were not available. Well as of now i<BR>have the technology (drivers source code) to make the drivers required to<BR>run my modem. I can recreate the drivers for windozs make new ones for DOS<BR>(also not "supported" by the vendor) but i have no ability to program in<BR>Linux and don't even know where to start. The drivers would need to do 3<BR>major things<BR><BR>1. initialize the device maybee at a very early stage the ports are turned<BR>off until initialize is complete and successful.<BR>2. process every 32bit word before being sent to the modem.<BR>3. process every 32bit word after being recieved by the modem.<BR><BR>I think this might be slightly off topic but am not sure I know that i have<BR>seen this and simalar topics on this and a few other mailing lists. sorry<BR>for any inconvience.please feel free to respond even if you don't know how<BR>to do this as I learn from every comment<BR> Thank you<BR> <A href="mailto:Richard.Reynolds@usa.net">Richard.Reynolds@usa.net</A><BR> </DIV></BODY></HTML>
