I need a manual for my modem and don't know the manufacturer of it so how can I tell who has made it?
It's a ISA 33.6kbps modem it's a non winmodem, it has two big IC's on it made by Rockwell and lots of different numbers on it, is it some of the numbers wich could tell me the manufacturer?
I need the manual because I can't get it to work in SuSe 7.1, maybe tide could help me??
It works good in win2k as a standard modem.
