Too bad the only thing I see there are .exe files. The one for that model
seems to be an LHA self-extracting file, I guess I'll try and see what can
be extracted from it under linux...
That was my way to do dialup for a while here
until it got weird after a
storm. Now no matter what input you give it on the serial port side it
comes back saying "boot>". My guess on this is that the writable storage
in it got trashed somehow, but other than that I don't know. Suggestions
as to how I might deal with this welcomed, either on or off list.
Well, you might try running the V.90 upgrade package for the modem (I

but it's a guess.
