1.6. Getting Help

If you haven't already done so check the troubleshooting section at the end of this howto as it covers most of the most common errors. If your still stuck then there are three main places where you can get help,

LinModem mailing list

The Linmodem mailing list is the main place on the internet for discussion of the use of Software modems in Linux. If someone else has had the same problem as you chances are that someone on the Linmodem mailing list knows about it. To join the mailing list send a blank email to discuss-subscribe@linmodems.org, the mailing lists homepage is at www.linmodems.org.

SoftModems IRC channel

If you want to talk to someone real time your best bet is the #SoftModems channel on the OpenProject's IRC network. See http://www.openprojects.org for details.

Newsgroups

The newsgroups comp.os.linux.hardware and comp.os.linux.setup often have people familiar with Rockwell modems.

Remember when asking for help to include your modems Device ID, Vendor ID and any error message you got.
