Hello Marcia - The issue of winmodems is something I don't know much about. I think the Lucent chip modems are among the ones that can be persuaded to work, but someone who knows more than I do will advise you on that part. For the Mandrake setup, your situation is a little different from mine, where I have a connection over ethernet, then a modem, but this is what I suggest you do: Go to Mandrake Control Centre and let Mandrake detect your connections. It should detect your modem and offer to set it up. If it does, let it. It will make all the connection settings you need. I presume that this will leave you with two profiles then, and you will have to switch when you want to fax. I could be way off beam, since you have, in effect, two modems, but that's how I would tackle it.
