Getting winmodems to work can be tricky under Linux. We would need to know what kind you have. There is a script you can download and run at: http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/ that should help determine which modem and chipset you have and even help you determine which driver you need to get. If you run that modem and post the results here, someone should be able to help you find the driver, if there is one, or tell you your options, if there is not one. An easier solution is to invest a little money and buy an external serial modem. Those are pretty much plug and play with Linux and you can get one for just a little money, $18 or so in the US. -- Bryan Phinney
