Linux & External USB Modems
Hello There,
I can understand that this is a classic problem with linux that it does not support even the hardware external modems. I have recently tried a USR External USB v 92 Modem (Model USR 5636). It has got its own DSP @56 Mhz, flash ram of 256 KBs and a EEPROM for upgrading the firmware.
With all these specifications, it is not even recognized by Red Hat Linux 9, Mandrake 10 and Fedora 2.
Has anybody tried this model before? If yes, is there any workaround to make it work under linux.
I would be very thankful for any response.

Device::Modem::UsRobotics(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Device::Modem::UsRobotics(3pm)
NAME
Device::Modem::UsRobotics - USR modems extensions to control self-mode
SYNOPSIS
use Device::Modem::UsRobotics;
my $modem = new Device::Modem::UsRobotics( port => '/dev/ttyS1' );
$modem->connect( baudrate => 9600 );
my %info = $modem->messages_info();
print "There are $info{unreleased_voice_msg} unread voice messages on $info{stored_voice_msg} total
";
print "There are $info{unreleased_fax_msg} unread fax messages on $info{stored_fax_msg} total
";
# Get details about message n. X
my %msg = $modem->message_info(1);
index type information attributes status day hour minute
callerid page addresshigh addresslow checksum
print 'This is a ', ($msg{type} == 2 ? 'voice' : 'fax'), 'message', "
";
print 'It came from no. ', $msg{callerid}, "
";
# ...
# Now clear all messages
$modem->clear_memory();
WARNING
This module is not documented yet, and it is a rough work in progress. Until now, it correctly reads voice/fax messages information, but
when saving voice messages to disk, sometimes they are incorrectly decoded.
So, if you need a working program, check out the good old TkUsr by Ludovic Drolez, unless you want to help develop
Device::Modem::UsRobotics.
DOCS TO BE COMPLETED FROM NOW.....
Yes, I'm a bad boy :-)
DESCRIPTION
Bla Bla Bla...
METHODS
clear_memory()
Used to permanently clear the memory space of the modem. There are separate memory spaces, one for voice/fax messages and one for user set-
tings. Examples:
$modem->clear_memory('user'); # or $modem->clear_memory(1)
$modem->clear_memory('messages'); # or $modem->clear_memory(2)
To clear both, you can use:
$modem->clear_memory('all'); # or $modem->clear_memory(0);
Parameters:
$memtype
String or integer that selects the type of memory to be cleared, where 0 is for "all", 1 is for "user" memory, 2 is for "messages" mem-
ory.
