Are you accessing the correct port
Try this in a terminal window echo ath1 > /dev/modem This should make the modem go off hook and you will hear a 'click' (ath0 will go back on hook again) If it does not work try /dev/ttyS0 for serial port 0 or /dev/ttyS1 for serial port 1 etc Once you establish the correct modem port configure kppp accordingly. Note : there is a support Notice on the USR site saying this modem always installs as COM5 in Windows. It also mentions that it works under DOS. If so it is a real modem and WILL work under Linux. http://www.usr.com/support/docs-template.asp?prod=s-modem Of course it is possible you have an IRQ conflict. You can check this by looking at the IRQ allocation in KDE control Centre>Information derek On Tuesday 30 Jul 2002 2:33 pm, John Richard Smith wrote: > Mark Hildabrand wrote: > > After loading Mandrake 8.2 for the third time, my USR/3Com 56K > > FaxModem, Model 5610 was able to dial the internet.
