Bug#313369: RFH: mwavem -- Mwave/ACP modem support software
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I request assistance with maintaining the mwavem package.
I own a ThinkPad 600 with an Mwave modem inside and I use this
to test the mwavem packages that I prepare. However, I do not use
the machine on a daily basis. If possible I would like help from
someone who does use mwavem regularly.
The package description is:
The Mwave modem support software implements a Hayes-compatible
V.90 modem in the 3780i Mwave/ACP DSP chip which is built in
to several discontinued IBM ThinkPad laptop computers,
including the ThinkPad 600, 600E and 770 models.
.
In addition to the programs included in this package, a driver
is required for the Mwave device. Source code for the driver,
built as a module called 'mwave.o' or 'mwave.ko', is included
in the latest 2.4 and 2.6 Linux kernel sources. To build the
module, set "ACP/Mwave Modem support" to "m" at kernel
configuration time. This module must be loaded before the
Mwavem modem support program can be started.
.
This package is in the non-free section of the archive
because it contains program binaries for the 3780i chip
that have been furnished by IBM without source code.
