You will probably need to install a Modem, check that your Bios is set to
NON PLUG & PRAY OS . Boot into windoze and check what modem you have
installed and which COM port it is installed on . Good point now, is it a
Winmodem??, as a rough guide if it is PCI it is , however external and the
old isa modems are not normally Winmodems.
Ray & Lawson on this list can you point you in the right direction to see if
it is a Winmodem
type chmod 4711 /usr/bin/kppp
edit /etc/ppp/options and remove the word lock from it
You type modemtool at the command line and select your modem as it appears
in Windoze
you then run KPPP & or of the the start menu
and click the setup button
Click device
Then select /dev/modem
I believe
ttys0 is com 1
ttys1 is com 2
ttys2 is com 3
ttys3 is com 4
and setup the rest of the info as in dos.
now you may get various error messages, eg modem not responding or modem
busy or cannot find modem when you go to connect. I would suggest that if
you get these wait a few seconds and try again.
Whatever happens tell me about it as I would like to know
lots of love Jill
