Hi,

I dont have any information on this myself as I've tried the same thing that
you have but
with even worse results. I have a ThinkPad 600e with an internal modem and
when
I tried the mwave stuff but it didn't even wanna start.

Another thing, is there any possiblity to get the serial port /dev/ttyS0
working ?
As I see it the internal winmodem is blocking the port. I've tried it in
both Win98,Debian 3
and BeOS Developer Edition, it doesn't work in either, in w2k it works fine
but w2k
is shipped with special mwave drivers.

Best regards, Per Edin
