I have done alot of research on google. This problem seems to be pretty widespread. I started with Knoppix 3.2 and purchased an External Creative Modem Blaster (I believe model 5621) because I could not get a winmodem to work. With Knoppix 3.2 Creative Modem worked. I installed Knoppix 3.2 to the harddrive and it still worked. Then I decided to try Mandrake 9.2. Thats when I started getting this error. I have since gotten a copy of Knoppix 3.3 and it is having the same trouble. I sent an email to the address provided on the error page and this is what he wrote back:
I'd like to help but I don't know what to make out of this error: >16 The link was terminated by the modem hanging up. If you ever find out, please tell me. -------- So apparently they don't know what the problem is either. Sigh, Maybe time will produce a solution. I am thinking about trying a diffrent modem. I am curious what brand and model modem the mandrake 9.2 dial-up users in this group use. I want to make sure I dont end up having the same problem with a new modem.
