I have an external USB 56k soft modem that came with linux drivers. It’s got conexant chipset. I successfully installed the drivers on my Ubuntu 8.04 box. I want to dialin to my server using this modem so I installed mgetty. The problem is that mgetty is not answering a call when I dial to the phone number . I have only one phone line which is also my ADSL line so I am using a cell phone to dial to my telephone number this modem is connected to. If I implement the same exact setup on my debian box, it is working, mgetty is answering the call. I even went to a friend and used his phone line and I connected to the debian box using Hyperterminal. Here are my configs and outputs Code: root@wani:~# lsusb Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0572:1329 Conexant Systems (Rockwell), Inc.
