Since I do not have a TP with MWave, I've never tried this. However,
for experienced Linux users, I would recommend the following "hack"
which might have a small (and I stress, _small_) chance of working:
1. Boot DOS and run any MWave modem initialization.
2. Run LoadLin to boot into Linux.
3. Run DOSEmu and open a DOS session, loading the necessary MWave
drivers to use the modem.
4. Run a DOS comm package under DOSEmu.
(Steps 1-2 may be redundant, in which case booting directly into Linux
using a bootdiskor LILO should be fine).
I'd appreciate hearing whether this actually works...
Also, if the MWave is hardware register compatible with Sound Blaster *
cards, the following procedure should get you sound under Linux:
1. Boot DOS and run MWave sound initialization.
2. Run LoadLin to boot into Linux (kernel sound config should match
the DOS sound config).
Regards,
Dave.
