Zoltix Modems for Vgetty

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

The Zoltrix modem was tested by me and inserted in the database with
Simone's kind help - thanks again!

I wanted other users to be aware that this modem can't be used for
faxing with mgetty (it seems), since it *only* supports class 1 and 1.0.

It works OK for data connections, is very configurable (with jumpers),
has many features (including SVD) and provides also an internal port for
linking it with the sound card.
Under Windows 95/98, all features are functional.

At the same price (< $50), I bought in Bucharest, Romania another modem,
a DAVICOM 33600 ISA board, with seems to work allright. It it also
listed in the database. The only design bug seems to be the missing
internal port.

I still don't know if any of these modems works with vgetty, since my
old-version vgetty doesn't work at all :-). Should anyone email me the
latest rpm package, please ? Thanks.
