roestock.demon.co.uk : either unzip all files to a pre-formatted floppy to obtain an auto-run MSDOS boot disc, or run PNPDUMP.EXE in MSDOS or a DOS-window. PNPDUMP is already part of all Linux distributions - the version provided here is a DOS executable.

Craig Hart’s Plug and Play BIOS Data scanner : either unzip all files to a pre-formatted floppy to obtain an auto-run MSDOS boot disc (best), or put PNP.EXE + PNPID.TXT together in the same folder & run PNP.EXE in MSDOS or a DOS-window. This program will also attempt to identify all devices.

cardctl ident
|
n/a
|
Linux
|
(supplied with the OS) (or update from sourceforge--eg pcmcia-cs-3.1.29.tar.gz) : entering “cardctl ident” (no quotes) at the command prompt will display the adapter PnP information; this should, BTW, match an entry inside the PCMCIA configuration file (locations vary with distribution, but try /etc/pcmcia/config).

MSDOS
|
v6.02.26, Microsoft web site mirror (Internet Explorer only, no longer available via MS) : unzip & run in MSDOS (requires real-mode Card Services and Socket Services) using “DTPL -a -i” (no quotes) to display both primary & alternate PnP IDs.

MBSI (Conexant) extract with “tar -xzf listmodem_app_linux.tar.gz” & run “listmodem.sh” in shell. The script also identifies many Rockwell/Conexant HCF/HSF modems.

E-Tech (no longer available) : either unzip all files to a pre-formatted floppy to obtain an auto-run MSDOS boot disc, or run pnpid.exe (11 KB) in MSDOS or a DOS-window. Very simple file to use, which will also attempt to ID an E-Tech modem.

|
Windows
|
Conexant : unzip both files to the same folder & run LISTMDM.EXE. A file called LISTMDM.LOG is created in the folder of all modems found. The program also identifies many Rockwell/Conexant HCF/HSF modems.

Craig Hart’s PCI System Information : either unzip all files to a pre-formatted floppy to obtain an auto-run MSDOS boot disc, or put PCI.EXE + PCIDEVS.TXT together in the same folder & run PCI.EXE in MSDOS or a DOS-window. This program will also attempt to identify all devices.

Packard Bell : either unzip all files to a pre-formatted floppy to obtain an auto-run MSDOS boot disc (best), or run PCI5.EXE in MSDOS or a DOS-window. Complicated, slightly scary program.

pnpdump (ISA)
lspci
scanpci
|
n/a
|
Linux
|
(supplied with the OS) : Linux enumerates every hardware device in or attached to the computer. It is possible to list these IDs at the command line: lspci -n -v or scanpci -v, or look at the entries in /proc/bus/pci (or cat /proc/pci) etc..
|
|
regedit.exe
|
n/a
|
Windows
|
(supplied with the OS) : Windows enumerates every hardware device in or attached to the computer & stores this information in the Registry. In winXP this Hardware ID is shown in the Properties for the Modem within “Phone and Modem” (Control Panel, Classic View). In win98 use <Start>-Run-regedit (try not to change anything--no undo, scary) & it will be found at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum (winXP is at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CONTROLSET001\Enum, or CONTROLSET002 etc.). Entries for the ISA bus are stored under ..\Enum\ISAPNP, the PCI bus under ..\Enum\PCI etc. etc.. The sub-key names under each of these keys are the actual Hardware IDs found for all devices attached to the relevant bus. A little searching will reveal which device is a modem. “Copy Key Name” is under Edit.
