[ltp] New to Thinkpad - modem help.

[Derek Harding]

Hi folks.

I have a 600E with SuSE 7.3 up and running, and a pcmcia Xircom ethernet card 
which also runs fine.

The SuSE dist. includes mwavem but it doesn't want to run at all. I 
downloaded the source and it compiles (with errors but they don't seem 
significant) but that, too, fails to run the modem. I've read the docs and 
need to be able to use a modem. When I put my old pcmcia modem in, everything 
locks up until I remove it.

Question 1 - can anyone help re HOWTO make the onboard modem run. How do I 
identify that it is there and what sort it is?

Question 2 - can I disable the onboard modem so that the pcmcia one will be 
recognised? How?

Question 3 - I have no paperwork. I can get at a bios test by pressing F10 on 
startup but is there any way to get at the bios settings?

Please, I could do with pointers where to look if these matters are already 
documented rather than simply "RTFM".

Thanks
