Title: PCI modem, or USB modem purchase
Post by: John8904 on Tuesday 30 October 2012, 12:33:22 pm
I have a Conexant MA560CI modem and when I run through the Endian network setup it actually finds a Conexant accessrunner adsl modem but it says its a usb modem when this is not correct.

Would the Conexant work or do I need to  something else like a usb modem?

If so are there any  options?

Many thanks

I should be more specific :/

I am on orange broadband in the UK and I used to use an orange brightbox.

I select "ADSL (PCI, USB)" for the red interface which joins to my telephone socket in the wall with rj11 cable, then "ADSL modems with Conexant chipset" option as I have a Conexant MA560CI modem.

I used these parameters:

adsl type = PPPoa
VCI=38
VPI=0
auth = CHAP or PAP
encapsulation=VCmux
tried manual and auto DNS also

System log may be saying that the hardware cannot be detected:
