Ok if it is a internal modem that is the bulk of the problem. You will have to find a linux driver and install it. If you do a search on Google you should be able to find one if there is a Linux driver for that model modem. Internal modems can sometimes be a real PITA but a lot of people have been able to get some of them to work well. Personally I gave up the battle early on and got a good external serial modem. A external modem will always be easyer in linux and a better preformer in linux and windoze and to top it off the whole machine will runn a bit faster because a internal modem depends on the OS and the internal RAM to work where as a external does all most all the work on it's own. You can generally find a used US Robitics sportster on ebay for under $30 that will work much better than any internal modem. Now that we know that it is a internal modem there are a lot of folks here on the list that have more experance with internal modems than I do that can give you further help but again first try to find a driver. -- Marc KM5KW Powered by Mandrake Linux 9.0 and Kmail.
