Are you by any chance using a Winmodem? And is that modem using the HSF or HCF driver from www.linuxant.com (included in Mandrake Powerpack or from MandrakeClub)? The linuxant driver is speed limited to 14.4 kbps until you pay a fee of $14.95 to linuxant to unlock it. It is actually cheaper to buy a real hardware exterial serial modem from ebay. A serial hardware modem needs no driver. derek -- www.jennings.homelinux.net http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org
