Hi All, I've searched the archives for this issue without success so here are my queries. I have an older 3 Com/US Robotics 56K ISA internal Faxmodem (model 5687-hardware controlled) that I would like to configure for use with Mandrake 9.1. Here is what I've attempted to date:
Mandrake Control Center's (MCC) Hardware Detection did not detect my legacy modem. Mandrake Control Center's Network Configuration yielded a ppp0 error. MCC's Network Config tool is a complicated way to dial-up an internet connection--is there an easier way to dial-up the internet? Is this tool a no-go with legacy modems? Traditionally I've used kppp without problem. kppp's modem query function will detect my modem and set it up for use. However, I've done a file find and a MCC software search for kppp and it does not appear to be available with Mandrake 9.1. Is kppp or some other dialer available with this distro? Where do I find it? If I do get a dialer working will users be able to use the dialer without having to have root permissions? Or do I have to do the sudoers-user script thing? Thanks in advance, Richard -- ______________________________________________ http://www.linuxmail.org/ Now with e-mail forwarding for only US$5.95/yr Powered by Outblaze
